    FAA action against RC activities

    I phoned a guy at the CAA a few weeks ago & complained about the £1300 cost to take the test in this country. He agreed the price was to steep, but also said he couldnt do anythign about it. I asked about the BMFA A certificate being an equal exam to the rip off priced one, he said they used to...

    What would you do - Internal vs External Wiring ?

    This is my problem as well, but seeing as these things are butt ugly anyway, go for the external wiring, you can always put a cable guard/tidy over the top of the wires. If you're adding 7.2mtrs of extra wire....thats an awful power loss & means reduced flying times due to needing to use more...

    Not from my MR, but my 50cc SU26....first attempt I only mounted the gorpo with cable ties(bodgery), the canopy vibrated like there was no tomorrow (as per usual) & I lost a mounting screw(also as per usual), but Im pleased with the way the smoked perspex reduced the cameras shutter speed.

    This is bad

    I thought the authorities gave this guy the material to make these flying bombs, surely thats entrapment? A better use would be to get a 400cc aircraft that will carry a good load, then load it up with Mexican drugs, use GPS to guide the thing across the border...with waypoint nav as...

    CAA authorise single person FPV flying(UK)

    I think you will find hobbyists & not commercial, which to me is a con in itself...whats the difference having a camera to take photos/video for yourself or for others????

    Camera tilt requirements for video

    If you want to give an idea of size, or you film wildlife/trees, then you will need straight down. The way I look at it...its better to have & not use, then to need & not have! Ross
