Right, have camera, have lead, now i just need to work out how to get the live view working!

Bit hard to do that when your above fireworks, in the dark and you have no idea on orientation! Even with fpv I think you'd struggle in a flyaway situation. I agree with your other points though. I'm just about to write an article for a UK outdoor magazine. Phantoms (and the like) are being...

I found a Sony CX410VE on eBay and just snapped it up ex display... LANC cable ordered from Gentles. Will let you know how I get on!!

Great showreel BTW!

Andrew is a gent of the highest order... I'll let you know about Paul when I meet him Friday ;-) Just joking Paul! I think I know this company you speak. Unfortunately with any industry in its infancy some will just try and make a fast buck. Glad your up an flying!

Hear, hear! I have been a heli flyer for years and they do scare the crap outta me. However, approaching a large multi to disconnect the batteries always makes me puker up! Irrational, maybe. But they should all be respected.

Astec Falcon 8 being one.

We have done extensive trials for this application but have not gone commercial yet as we are waiting on our PFAW. As Droider said. It's all very possible and achievable BUT the pilot must be able to fly manually. Also worth mentioning is a camera that can look up. There are some great high...

^ That's all interesting to hear. I've heard a lot of irresponsible phantom type pilots say a jet engine would ingest their quad 'no problem'!

No, it's really interesting info because max ceiling information and the effects on flight performance is generally not available. Duration would be the the main issue at proper heights I guess. Thanks.

That's the approach I'm taking ^ I couldn't get any sense from Aeronavics re: max operating altitude. Droider might know or Eyeball as they were out in Peru at a reasonable altitude? 5000' seem sensible.

Thanks for the feedback! I've got quite a lot of systems in place and have read almost everything so I fell reasonably well prepared! I too intend to revise most nights, hopefully I'm ready in a good place regarding background revision but I'll soon find out! Thanks, Matt.

Surely they are looking for maximum operating altitude to be built into that spec.? For example if for that question you put 400'AGL would your multi even be capable of taking off at 4500' above sea level (the probable max height in the UK)...

Yeah change back to PAL, I bet that fixes it. I have had similar issues.

I was going to say GPS as well. Has it got damaged in transport? twisted etc. Loose mount maybe or cable?

Ah yes, that's what I meant. Your maximum altitude / air density etc. It's a bigger to find that information out.

I've done all this back to front and I'm hoping I won't regret it! I have draft everything in place and my RPQ-s ground school starts a week Monday. On my cards I put down operating limitations that fit in with CAP 722 and for my NAZA 120m. I would imagine practical limit is the way to go...

Ah yes! Hadn't thought of that, cheers.

That's included and it's per seat... airframe is 8k, licence 4k, controller 4k and so on... very nice piece of kit though.

Quotes in... 25k!!! The software licence to start the rotors is 4k!
