I own what I believe to be a beautiful 3dr solo in it's box with all the trimmings and 3 batteries. I could tell from his demonstrated poor flying ability that it's previous owner who bought it new hadn't flown it very much at all, and due to weird circumstance I have not yet, either. It flew...

I'm sure that like me you'd not be tempted to fly your drone over a crowd. Let's get hypothetical here though and suggest that it might be easy for one us law abiding types to accidentally overfly something secret and military, something posted on an aviation map that you didn't have with you on...

I have a very clear understanding of how the laws work, or do not. Like everyone else who manages to stay outside of the "legal system" and retain some semblance of personal autonamy, my very survival depends upon understanding these things. Your type of thinking however shows a complete lack...

That would apear to be tyranny by misapplication of law.. 15K Fine for flying a drone over a protest? Where's the damage to property or person required for an actual CRIME to have been committed?? An average persons annual disposable income is much, much less than 15K so how is an average...

The lower airspace is already full of birds and other obstacles. There's a whole 500 feet above the surface where no manned flying machine is supposed to go (except when arriving and departing) for this and other sensible aviation reasons. IF you really think that the rather draconian...

Still interested, although it's been a long time... (Hope your collar bone got better fast, and you just forgot/got busy elsewhere)

"We are NOT ALLOWED TO FLY BVLOS without a Waiver right now". Why not? They make you label the bloody craft (and pay for your registration) so it's not like you can evade responsibility if you drop it somewhere! If you are fed up of the ever increasing numbers of things that are prohibited on...

The challenge for me in is in executing the flying part of the mission flawlessly. Every time. That's challenge enough. and one I've wrestled with since 2014 rather than "just buy a DJI".. I'd like my remote control vehicle to work the same way every time, and not be servicing it all the time...

In what way is owing a 3dr solo better than a JJRC x9? It might be an annoying question to some with an obvious answer, but given that my aim is to simply fly as many missions as possible, from as many places as possible, with the aim of obtaining the best quality video I can obtain, I am...

JCBird, did you get your solo sorted? I bought one last year, (it was demo'd and I know it flies nicely) then started reading up on the various options and issues people seem to be having. I'm carrying ADD and Autism, which tends to make me over think and under perform, and when it comes to...

The BEST investment you can make at this point (based on my own experience) is a tiny toy indoor drone, to play with first. I have flown both and drones are more challenging in may ways (which is not what I expected). The ideal arduopilot drone training machine I believe to be the skyviper...

No worries, when you are well and ready is soon enough for me, buddy. P.M sent.

hello chap. If/when you are able to ship to the U.K. (It's an easy address) please email me at [email protected]. as well as posting here, just to make sure I know... Hope the collar bone gets better soon. Motorbike accident? Cheers, Steve C.

If you can send to the U.K. at a sensible cost the drone & controller I'm in... You can even send it to my mate as a "gift", or me as "broken drone parts" if it helps simplify the outgoing customs declaration. Just don't value it higher than I pay you! Paypal O.K? IF you have any faulty...

Hang on... This is a PIXHAWK machine we are talking about here. It's essentially unbrickable by design. This isn't yer proprietry chinese made rubbish, it's the product of a great deal of people from all parts of the globe who envisioned and created the OPEN SOURCE arduopilot system that...
