    CAA permissions fee

    You are from Vermont which has some of the most formidable gun rights in the Union and you speak of such things? Very strange for you to be anti-gun, but a lot of Liberals do infest that area. I reside in the Rocky Mountains during my traveling time and let me tell you there's no issues there...

    CAA permissions fee

    LOL. DEREGULATE? Don't make me laugh, they've been regulating peoples lives since before WW1 little by little. They aren't going to suddenly make a U-turn. They (The CAA) put the rubber stamp on those laws you've got links to in late 2014 did they now so there's a bunch right there. I could...

    Another CAA Conviction in the UK

    With Permission.:rolleyes::rolleyes: So you are at the whims and gestures of a council / ruling body that decides things for you. How wonderful.:rolleyes: Meanwhile in the time it takes you, if successful, to get the 'permission' you've probably lost the contract / job to a conventional method...

    Well the only viable options in some areas of the UK are heavier drones to cope with the winds alas.

    CAA permissions fee

    Your view is it's ok to regulate and clamp down on things a little bit. Let me tell you something and maybe you'll end up with some awareness ok? When the they start this legislation off it ALWAYS starts off small. It snowballs and gets bigger as they kick it down the hill. The did the same...

    Anyone flown a Drone at High Elevation?

    Is 9,000 feet ok though? Got an 800 sized hexacopter and a 3D gimbal and camera (Ilook).

    CAA permissions fee

    In your opinion, which is like an ******, everyone has one. Also you take the big-government line of thinking, which isn't what multirotor or flying in general is all about.

    Insight into possible FAA regulations?

    That link was very helpful, thanks. If only the UK regs with the CAA were more liberty-minded.

    CAA permissions fee

    The thing is, people who have a car license, bike license etc don't have renew it with tests and fees. This is a money making scam and registering people for big brother. I have a 4x4 vehicle that can do immense damage if misused. A light drone has yet to even kill anyone but the big government...

    First filming with uas approved by the FAA

    I take it this covers unmanned drones but not RC aircraft?

    Another CAA Conviction in the UK

    All I can say to this argument is, if the regulation of drones becomes like that of cars and firearms from the 1920s onwards, it'll be a nightmare for people to innovate and take the sport/hobby/life to the next level. IF there is a death or major injuries involving drones this is what will...

    Turkey drone flying permissions

    Hmm, shame it's a bit restrictive there. Is it a case of greasing a few palms to open the doors?

    Anyone flown a Drone at High Elevation?

    I'll be heading to about 9,000 feet high in future times, just wondering what drone would be best for it? If anyone had flown at that altitude (Above Sea Level).
