Last year the CAA in the UK stated that they would introduce a new safety case system whereby people could get year long permissions to operate with less restrictions than those stipulated in the Air Navigation Order (normally 50m separation distance and 400ft vertical). We have just had our...

I have just received an email from DJI promising support for the Inspire and not just that, within an hour of emailing them! Also, they say they are evaluating the idea of rolling this out to other products. Okay, the cynics may say that they are just getting prepared to deal with all the...

Last year I used to wake up and start reading the new threads in this forum. At the time, over the course of a day there would be just one page of new threads or on a busy day perhaps as much as two so I was able to read them all. Roll forward a year and holy cow man. These machines are...

I was trying to look at my iOSD log files. The ones where flights occurred were large files as expected however on loading the Data Viewer no data was showing. Oddly the time line shows from -0.6s to +0.6s which is clearly not right! I have searched the forums and come across other people...

Thanks to all who got involved in yesterday's webinar which I felt was useful. We will run another once the results of the first application are through- we will keep you posted.

Welcome everyone to the ARPAS section of Multirotor Forums, here you can find out about what we have been up to and UK based info.

Title says it all really. Love the new look Bart. Top man.

The CAA have released the details of the safety case required to work in congested areas. Unless I have missed it, and quite possible given my day, it seems that this applies to all weight categories including sub 7kg. Notice can be found here.

Im just curious to see what people are experiencing with voltage drop on a flying aircraft- so what is your aircraft weight, number of motors, battery cell count age of batteries etc and what sort of voltage drop are you getting ie at rest lets say 22.2 volts but in the air 21.2 ie a 1v drop...

Whilst RCMaster.net looks like being a German site, it is certainly run from Germnay, if you buy anything from them, they are likely to ship the items from places like Hong Kong. There is no mention that the item is coming from outside of the EU. This of course means you then get hit with import...

Well, having been ragging a 550 around on Firmware 2.3 and not having had an issue, I have been flying my Gryphon hexa around a bit to carry on building confidence. Well, today the confidence came crashing down although at least the aircraft didn't! On powering up the A2 having had 3 successful...

I see Scorpion are now making MR motors. Has anyone any experience of their MR motors and if so, what are your thoughts?

Okay, so it is a Heli rather than a multi thing but I managed to pass my B certificate today first time which was a nice feeling- good to know that my manual flying is up to scratch not that I EVER fly manual when working unless in an emergency and all else has failed!

I was just wondering what people are using on cameras like the Blackmagic which only has SDI out in order to get a camera feed back at the ground station?

Most ESC manufacturers recommend you keeping the battery to ESC cable length under a certain amount- approx 20cm ie from where the cable exits the battery's heat shrink to the ESC. If you go over this then they recommend adding extra capacitors. So, most large MRs I have seen do not have any...

From a flying perspective the GH4 seems a no brainer due to size. But what about from the customer's perspective? Which of the two is the camera more likely to be asked for do you think?

It is interesting to see that DJI charge a serious premium for using the ACE ONE yet there has been absolutely no updates to anything. Want iOSD support? Forget it Want waypoints? Forget it unless you are prepared to pay an utterly absurd amount Want mac support? Not yet I know that the...

Managed to get a flight over central London today at 500ft. Awesome. And the best bit was, it was all fully sanctioned by the CAA and NATS! I'll get a shot or two posted in a couple of days time when I get back to base.

I see a lot of people like to turn off their TX whilst flying their MRs, principally to test the got to home feature. This has never sat particularly easy with me as whilst most of the time I can see this working well, it just doesn't seem like good airmanship to kill the command link on...
