Well it's great there is competition now, I know that an entire country has dropped BNUC but I cannot tell you where. The UK is still moving towards PPL(U) and CPL(U)

Cool, thanks Alan.

Oh dear, that's got me worried I have not started the home schooling yet. Did that help?

Making point clouds of things using structure from motion, things like photosynth and the like and then creating maps from that dataset. In the past I have flown over nests to look for eggs of endangered birds and making maps of where they are exactly. It saves a lot of trudging through wet...

Whilst re opening a very old thread, there is an alternative now http://www.resource-uas.co.uk/

Wow! What a spot looks lovely, would be silly not to drop in ;-) Still bolting down stuff here but it looks like I will fly to the UK first week of December at the minute.

I think the eventual PPL(U) and CPL(U) will arrive from the RPQ standard. Being first to market only works as long as you keep improving your product. Lots of the major players are adopting the RPQs as the standard so it might be for those in the market for work as a freelance pilot its the...

I have been playing with AP since 2005 and the greatest number of images have been making 3D models and GIS mapping. As I said I can't take a framed image of a thing like a house for toffee.

Well put it like this I don't fly without one and at around 5 US Dollars its just not a risk worth taking. Plus my eyes are older than yours so I probably couldn't see a warning light...

Now I have watched it again, I predict you have a bright future if this is your second week. Don't puff your batteries, have you got an audible alarm on them.

First off, well done!!! You have nailed the video production bit. Second thing, stay away from water. At least when you hit a tree you get some bits back that might work again.

Well from a previous life I enjoyed I think it was called the Tunnel Inn or some such not very far away. I'm a bit hacked off that I have to come to UK in winter but hopefully there will be a weather slot.

I'm going to chip in here, I can manage the flying but cannot frame a decent picture for toffee. So the expense for the equipment is one thing that you can factor in, being pants at photography is what you might learn in the end. I would expect training in the USA to cost not less than 5k once...

Not sure if you have flown anything before, if you have not I would recommend getting a cheap quad first and bashing that about before making the leap to a more complex system. You certainly don't need FPV stuff until you can fly. Add this to your thinking list...

I'm flying up to take the course there shortly and looking forward to it, Resource UAS deserve to do well the other crowd have milked the system far too much in the past. I am preparing my FRCs as I am looking at this thread.

Remember that quad bouncing off buildings and landing at the foot of somebody standing outside of Grand Central Station.. Well they found him. NEW YORK (WABC) – He’s a musician from Brooklyn but he has struck a wrong note with the NYPD who tracked him down after our story aired and charged...

The ScanEagle was an engine out that happened in front of the FAA inspector on the second flight. Oil companies have been using UA hiding behind environmental research for years. The approval is just to straighten up that relationship a bit. There is an optionally piloted (OPV) helicopter coming...

Well lets see what happens in court. If Trappy just paid the fine it would have thrown everybody under the bus so he did well to try and fight this. This is the full text of the FAA's complaint against him http://www.suasnews.com/2013/10/25471/the-faas-complaint-against-trappy/ This is the...

+1 on holding back on courses. Maybe hop across the border to Canada and do something there you never know when the FAA start playing they might accept it.

Welcome to MRF, there are lots of great online suppliers lots of people quite simply use HobbyKing I think if this is your first ever build you might want to start with a quad. An octocopter is lots of cash to loose in noob crash.
