Spotted this ages ago, but cant do anything about it... Hows it going Steve-o

Am I allowed to start using "Ego's and dreams" instead of facts?

Coolio... 2 Full size displays each day... Anybody remember or know what to final attendance figures were for the entire weekend?

I know there was more than 3............ Well, I saw a few more than 10, so the figures must have been good....

Nice one guys... Visitor numbers would be great too Pete

Nice one Rod... Any advance on Rods 87? Was gonna say any advance on Rod, but that sound really wrong...

Oooo, good start... any advance on 130, going once....... Going twice........

Anybody got any useful facts/figures I can use in the show video at all? Anything? I dont care what it is, even if its "How many bog rolls were used at the show" or man hours it took to cut the runway, anything, interesting, odd or otherwise???

Wow, falconmodels seriously need to revide their colour scheme Don... High contrast is highly straining on the eyes, puts you off in a heartbeat... Would love to look at their models, but physically cant look at the high vis blue/purple

Wow, nice chopper Dave... Looks miles better than that pants canopy... You got this thing running on 2 x 3S at the same time (Tight wads 6 cell)??? All that for under £160?

Tank u mr Shady

Hiya Guys Quick question..... Does anybody have something like 50+ pics from each years SMAS in a zip file that they would like to donate? I'd like to upload them to the gallery section on my own RC website... Pretty please

Windows Media player is what I use, but I'm not sure if you need an AVCHD codec to play the footage...

lol, manual focus, is you bonkers! Planes movin too fast for that, I let the camera do all my focusing. Although, mine doesnt actually have a manual focus ring on it, so I couldnt if I tried... Was hard enough just keeping up with the models, but it was great..

It does. I have used it on my current HDC-SD60 and it can/does track anything thats on the screen, you just touch the item on the screen you want to follow, and it keeps it in focus... The hardest part is actually keeping it in shot

No prob's. I need to put my video camera, spare batteries, tripod and video editing software all up for sale.... I wanna get a much better camera like the Panasonic SD700... Catch ya laterz Rich

Erm, yeah, probably my "air-headedness", I most have though I had copied it onto the drive, then unplugged it... DOH! What a twat... Bring it tomorrow and i will copy the footage to my lkaptop so i can put it on your drive, at the field for you.

ok, see you then

Watcha Steve Sorry I didnt catch you yesterday, I got up there around 5, and only stayed an hour. Today is fine, doesnt look like anybody is going up there this afternoon so I may just work on a few builds/repairs... I gotta take my dogs over the park soon, u wanna bring lucy? Or swing by, whichever you prefer... Gimme a call and let me know

Watcha Darren 34GB! Wow, thats awesome mate, 1920x1080HD is the resolution I will be working with for the entire project, and jpg format is perfect I'm happy with whatever your happy to throw at me, so long as it doesnt have sharp edges

Gary I dont mean to be cheeky, but I'll try anyway, lol, I dont suppose you might be kind enough to pop them onto a CD/DVD at all and maybe even drop them in the post, if possible? or if in Croydon area I dont mind collecting? Grabbing that lot from a forum post will take all day, and their smaller than originals

No prob's, or, if its easier, pop them onto a DVD and I can come and collect them? Are you in Croydon?

Thanks Gary, pic's can be emailed to "help@@mylocalitguy.com" Remove one of the @ signs (I get enough spam already) I've bumped up my mailbox to 250mb for the next few weeks.

Holy cow, is that what he was up to... Blimey... What a way to spend your weekend! Cheers Al, We owe you a cuppa If you have any piccies or footage Gerard, would you mind them being subjected to possibly ending up in the DVD?

Hey guys Still buzzing, SMAS was absolutely, totally pukka.. What can I say.. Blown away by it all.. I'm well looking forward to next years show already... Can somebody pleaseee pass on my sincerest thanks to Ann on the Flight line / Tea tent.. Its amazing what a little home comfort like a fresh cuppa and a biccie can do for tired feet and empty bellies when duty is calling, so I'd really like to say thanks for that. Having spent almost the entire day today meeting and shaking hands with as many of the traders/exhibitors as possible, they all had fantastic things to say about
