    Things that made me laugh about insurance. "Public liability insurance - alleged negligence". Now stop & think carefully!!!! So would you admit to flying negligently?

    What power plant combo for the Skyjib 8?

    Professional single rotor world, AKA... shake your camera gear to bits in pursuit of perfection ;) ;) Thanks Dave, if it wasn't for people like yourself & the many others on this forum, I would still be chasing my tail with a trex 600esp heli!

    Need STABLE Multicopter Recommendations, 99% look unsuitable 4 filming

    Triple, you do come across as very negative at times! My advice for what its worth is to buy a decent flight simulator & radio, learn n that & then the sky really is your limit. Its far cheaper this way & you can sit in comfort learnign to fly without fear of hitting anyone or thing & without...

    Planned Skyjib8 Build Specs

    Dave, Im not the full ticket ;) ;) My first ever flight with an RC 6ch heli & camera was over the sea...I am surrounded by the water down here, so I jump in at the deep end (excuse pun). I did fly the octo over a Exmoor stream in these shots...the water is only 3ft deep at the max, wade-able so...
