120 SR is a great little heli, 45 deg flybar so it has self levelling tendency, a real good step from a coax. great for flying around the garden

Or even better, the new blade MCQ mini quad

If you want a low cost sim have a look at clearview www.rcflightsim.com It's about £27 and just a quick download, there is free demo also and you pay to upgrade to full version. You can only have it active on one computer at any time though. Try getting an indoor 4 ch heli also

Yeah I can see that makes sense Bart, incidentally I have been having problems with vibes ever since my motors were treated to a drop of 3 in 1

What are you folk using to lube motors. I think I start greasing my bearings..

@ Jeff, Bert of XA USA, Hey guys, havn't received my trigger kit yet, I've emailed and PM'd to no avail. What happening? Bert you'll find my PM's in reference to it in your PM inbox. Thanks Steve

I thought they were still only available for pre-order

Very good comment Bart, point taken.

How do you guys feel about an association for RC Aerial Photography as opposed to MR's, technically basic MR flying and in fact FPV, comes under the auspices of the BMFA. BMFA however doesn't get involved with this aspect. Its a bit of a missing link. Just throwing some thoughts out there.

We would need to set up an unincorporated association. Option to register for charitable status.

Thanks for sharing that Tommy I have been looking for something like that, The one I download couldnt handle the frequencies. shall download vibration now.

The airworthiness factor is dealt with in the ANO, in that its the responsibility of the pilot to ensure the flight can safely be conducted. If airworthiness standards applied to sub 20kg, we would be further at the mercy of Euro USC. Its something we dont really want to bring attention to. As a...

Indeed yes Ross they did accept the BMFA-A and there are many still operating under that on the grandfathering principle, ie CAA did not revoke their permissions. Yes offering the Aerial shots for free, thats fine if you're a ground based photographer also but surely you want to see some return...

I read Dave's opening post as meaning we need a collective to set us apart from those who would bring negative attention to what we do. The BNUC is actually not specific to Aerial work, Aerial work is one of the activities it is required for to obtain exemptions from ANO's and permissions. I...

Anyone know how Ardupilot Mega handles a motor out on Hex and Octo.

I have it from the CAA that the BMFA want less, not more to do with anything commercial. Just taking a broad view, there is an FPV association outwith the BMFA, Maybe we should look along those lines for Amateur RC Aerial Photography, perhaps not just for MR's but all types of RC craft. I think...

Euro USC have set the bar, CAA states the requirement for Aerial work is BNUC or equivalent. I assume any equivalent would in fact, have to be, equivalent. The BNUC is more than a simple flight test like the BMFA certs. So on the grounds of having to be equivalent we are looking at a ground...

Nice find, cheers Denny.

Thinking about it, perhaps an body could formed with an 'ethical code of practice' drawn up. this could also be a good accreditation for professional operators.

Nobody could be expected to offer a commercial certification service and all it involves unless it is going to be worth there while financially. One drawback that sticks with me is that we could only deal with MR's, whereas Euro USC deals with the whole plethora of unmanned flight. I think we...
