Yup they have closed up. To renew just apply direct to the CAA having filled out SRG???? form (its on their website and easy enough to find on the UAV section) and attaching a copy of your logs. Simples.

BB Stratus is now part of Flying Pictures.

Biggest tip I can give you is that by doing this you are not in the drone business. You are a photographer/videographer full stop. The drone is merely a tool and it is the data that matters ie the imagery. No one will really care too much if you are using x machine or y but they will want to...

Balance props and motors and check bearings.

4 rapid white lights normally means IMU error. This can be caused by excessive vibration. Of course it could be the IMU being faulty too. Not easy but if you can borrow another IMU this might help you trouble shoot.

Well Sleepy C, I guess that's about the sort of response I would expect from ZeroTech. Not just pretty lame but utterly lame.

I havent seen their fees for a while but I think people are getting confused. The standard BNUC-S test does not involve any form of airworthiness and the flight test is there just to ensure that the aircraft does what it should- this is all you need for your PfAW. This is all included in the...

Popped ESCs can damage the motor windings so ideally you need to do an impedance check on the motor coils. Google this and there are a few videos on how to do it.

It has been edited, look at the shot where it rises directly above the pier, the people in it are walking backwards! Or were you referring to a different video when you said you had seen something from overseas? Still good to see what this thing can do.

Ha. didnt read the bit about the missing puck. In which case it wont know where it is but the lights are probably saying that it is missing the puck?

The Gryphon frames look gorgeous BUT in my experience, they have major problems. On the original frames, resonance appeared to be a big problem, it certainly was on ours which ended up in a flip at 40ft. Shortly after this Gryphon produced reinforcements for the 'quick release' system which...

Sounds like you might be in a no fly zone. Go into the assistant and disable the geofencing and see if it still happens.

I dont get this battery thing on the Matrice unless DJI are going to do something else or reduce the prices considerably.

Look into the health and safety side of cutting CF. Its not nice stuff. If you do get dust on your hand always wash off with COLD water rather than hot as this will keep your pores closed. Cold water with a thick mix of detergent is what I have found best. The detergent sticks to dust and helps...

It is something like that I think. The other option is to use a different channel on the A2 ie not the gear. Yes you wont get the automatic gear as a result but by putting in a failsafe you will still have the gear deploying in an unplanned return to home.
