Its my understanding, from speaking with the CAA that they actually want another organisation to give approval to, who can offer a BNUC equivalent, it would certainly save them a lot of earache. I dont think its a healthy situation to have just one private enterprise in discussion with the CAA.

Good plan Dave, much respect for stepping up to the plate. Steve

Learning to fly a plane/heli will stand you in good stead for flying a multi, theres not too much difference in flying a multi in manual and a heli, except that the yawing is real slow on a multi. the fixed wing thing is just a suggestion based on the fact that it helped me a lot moving on from...

these rules are not hard and fast, if you have permission to fly on someones property, you can pretty much go as close as you want to the subject, same goes for people as long as they are 'under control' of the operator of the system. If it were not this way, there would not be much commercial...

Arlo, Despite all the autonomous functions and 'care free' gadgetry popping up left right and centre, the only body that carries out the BNUC certification states that the flight test (along the lines of the BMFA-A cert) be conducted in manual mode. As Denny points out basic RC flight skill is...

Covesea Lighthouse, Lossiemouth, ones a gopro still the other is a video still also from gopro

The video was a write off due to vibration but I did manage to salvage a nice still out of the flight. Not bad for a video still I thought. a wee bit of PS of course!

Dom, Andrew, You need a BNUC-S, unfortunately there's only 1 mob providing it and the CAA require it, just google BNUC-S and you'll get all the info you need. Steve

I dont know what the issue was, initially I could get no response from the Tx on the assistant so it would not let me go any futher. I just did another calibrate and it worked second time round ???

Got a bit of jello but I kinda like the overall effect. DJI F450 & Fixed gopro and one dodgy motor I think!

Hi Jack, how did your Kenyan elephant shoot turn out? I was looking out for the documentary, has it been aired yet? if so I must have missed it. Steve

Yeah, some nice work there, smooth and very creative. Steve

Eric, Once calibrated properly it shouldn't need done again, just do a check every now and again to make sure your displayed values look right. Its not like the DJI or Gaui stuff that calibrates at startup. Steve

I'll get them bearings oiled up asap, cheers. I needed to do a bit of re-working to get the Savox to fit, just a bit of hole widening and slotting. I still have the BEC set at 5v so I am not getting the full speed (00.8ms @ 6V) so I reckon I can get it a little better than that. I dont yet know...

Awesome fun just to free fly in strong wind though, the F450/Naza combo handles the wind way better than i thought it would, it feels almost impervious to it, apart from a bit of oscillation.

I swapped the XA G50 servo for the Savox 1258TG. I didn't expect the results to be perfect and the're not,,,but what a heck of improvement. I think what jitter is left could be dealt with in post,,,what do you guys reckon? Stock XA 2X Mount; With Savox 1258TG Servo in roll axis; Steve

A lesson in making sure your lens is clean!!

Wow awesome and not even using any visual cues for orientation!

Everything looks as per, in your pics, just recheck your wiring. I have my gain set at around or <50% so it could just be throwing a bit of a fit @ 100%, I think when I first flew mine the gain was set at about 70% and it oscillated so I dialled it down till it was steady. I notice you have the...
