As an after thought, I've been flying RC aircraft for over 27 years now!!!! How many of you BNUC certified op's have that much experience??? I see many who's first aircraft was a MR, only months ago...& they already have thier certificates...so its like telling me to suck eggs. You BNUC guys...

SPOT ON JES, my thoughts entirely. If we go to EuroUSC, they will only see £ signs & not reason. It's so blatant that the BNUC's is nothing at all to do with pilots flying ability, its all about money & secondly safety. Andy has already stated this in a previous post.

Far from it Dave, I support the CAA in ALL respects, I just dont support the BNUCs!!!! I wonder how many pilots on this thread actually fly a RC heli, 600 size or larger? Because a heli is far more difficult to fly & I for one reckon the BMFA A cert woould be fine for serious operations. As we...

Dave what would you call Qualified operators in this case? BNUCs or BMFA or other? The CAA don't state this..... Ross

Same setup as mine then, hope my footage comes out as well...especially now I am nearly ready to use it for aerial video instead of stills only ;) Ross

So you are liking the 730 Dave, I'm still trying to chose between the X900M or the 760/730 :( havent seen any videos from the air of the x900 to be honest, apart from Kopterworx, but in the pan it gets a bit ropey :( Ross

Mike thats stunning!!!!! What a beautiful place to live & to fly as well.....trully magical. Ross

More of a nightmare really MF ;)

Thats shocking Andy!!! So its safety only then (health & safety of the air). The CAA do accept the B certificate for heli fliers apparently & that's FREE to take. That's the way I'm going into this, I think the BNUC fees are an utter con! they need healthy competition & there are enough of you...

Thats pretty steady Ken, not bad at all. I'm sure the AD6 will make a big difference. Ross

Andy, I have only ever flown my octo apart from my Trex600 heli. the heli is a lot more difficult to fly, that's for sure...but I've been flying it for years now & its like jumping into a strange car, you feel a touch uncomfortable at first, but you can still drive it safely. Have you got a...

This is the problem when a rip off company charging over £1000 pays the CAA back handers & the CAA see more openings to make money. If people refused to pay these extrotionate sums in the first place & just took thier BMFA B cert, then this wouldn't happen. I find it strange that they accept the...

If you have to plug into the pan input for programing, how does one set up the pan? Ross

FC???? Who makes MC? Ross

It seems very smooth when flying slowly or in a hover, I think your mrs/girlfriend needs a monitor so she can see what the camera is seeing...it' impossible to get what footage you want without a live downlink. Apart from that, I think you're onto a winner. Ross

The jello doesnt seem half as bad on the unstabilised footage.

I use 60A plushies ;) on my octo, they seem ok...but i'm no expert!!! Ross

Hahahahaha sounds like Welcome to Devon" syndrome ;) Thanks for the heads up on no AV output...not good for FPV flying then ;) I'll stick with my gopro for now, bulky as it is...I'm sure someone will make a socket for AV out before long on that Sony. Ross

My thoughts as well Ken, I do recall many years ago when Hitec first came out that they were the same size shafts as Futaba....but the grey matter isn't working to well ;) Thanks Nick, that's cleared that up for me ;) Ross
