    Autocar admits to commercial flying while unlicensed

    This article made me very angry. Here we have a major publication, flaunting the rules and then even having the audacity to post about it on their website! I wonder if the CAA will go after them. http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/anything-goes/how-we-shot-mclaren-vs-porsche-vs-ducati-video-sky

    Issue with altitude hold at mid throttle

    I've got an issue with a 250mm quad I've just built with a Naza Lite + GPS. It won't hold altitude at mid throttle and I have to keep pushing the stick to around 60% to keep height. The sticks are centred in assistant. The Naza is registering an input as I get double green flashes when holding...

    UK users: Do we know of anyone who ever got prosecuted?

    This is a genuine question but before anyone points the finger, I'm in the process of obtaining my BNUC-S and so will certainly be certified myself soon ish. Do we know of anyone who has actually been fined by the CAA in the UK for flying without permission? What is the ultimate penalty for...

    Where to buy rubber damping balls in the UK?

    I need some of the little rubber damping balls. Not the big ones that DJI and everyone else use on the Zenmuse etc, but the half-size ones. The are about 10mm tall and about 8mm in diameter. I can't find them anywhere. They are for my X-Cam X140BS gimbal. The gimbal manufacturer says to buy...

    Where to mount A2 IMU on the S800 EVO

    I'm a little confused as to where to mount the A2 IMU on the S800 EVO Some say to mount it on the vibration-isolated mount on the landing legs. Others say to go back to mounting it on the main frame. What's the consensus?

    Anyone tried balancing the Z15 Nex-5 with the 16-50mm PZ kit lens?

    I'm still on the fence about getting the Z15-N with my S800 EVO build. I see that people have had success balancing the Z15 for use with some other lenses (24mm f/1.8, 18-55mm kit lens) other than the officially supported ones, but I haven't seen anyone balancing for the pz 16-50mm. I don't see...

    What gimbal for stills photography?

    I need a gimbal that capable of dealing with a range of lenses so I'm assuming that brushless is no good for me and that I need to be looking at a servo gimbal. I don't need 3 axis. The camera will be either a Panasonic GH3 or a Sony NEX7. What do you guys recommend?

    If you could buy again, would you buy an S800?

    I'm looking at possibly buying an S800 as an AP platform. I just can't make my mind up if it's worth the money though. It's a great looking piece of kit and I like the fact that it's mostly pre-built so debugging it is mainly down to setting up the FC rather than messing with ESC timings, motors...

    XAircraft Number of channels needed for SuperX failsafe.

    From reading the manual, it seems that I need a separate RC channel for failsafe with the SuperX. With Naza / WKM I can have failsafe on the flight-mode channel and activate it with a mix from a two position toggle. Do we know if there are any plans to allow us to configure failsafe on the same...

    What multi for professional work?

    After flying multis for a while, I'm looking to go semi-pro in the UK. I've done the research and have a business plan and some potential customers lined up and waiting. I'm already semi-pro as a traditional photographer so am well aware of the pitfalls of this. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

    Can't get my head around what batteries to use with my F550
