At the end of the day if you want to operate commercially you have to prove to the CAA that you are a competent and responsible operator of well built and well maintained equipment. Your pilot qualification and ops manual is key to this before they will give you Permission For Aerial Work. The...

I would echo Bowley's words here - definitely a good effort :-) i wish more pilots, whether professional or sport, would take the time to fly their mr's in as manual a mode as possible - especially without GPS! i have seen too many students who on day one of their course switch GPS on before...

Why not approach it a different way and build something where the all up weight is only about 25 / 30% of the theoretical max thrust of the motors? No over spec running and if you use the right controller, it will be very quick - bit like a GTI car ;-)

It's a really interesting point isn't it ;-) 'Real World' experience has certainly demonstrated to me that there's a quietly growing resistance to the the heavier machines. One of the UK's major land owners refused permission to someone with a 17kg machine but was quite happy with my sub 7kg...
