The majority I've seen are at £200+; would you mind mentioning which training partners these are please? I think I'm looking in the wrong place. It seems a little weird there's no official statement saying 'you must have strobes on at night-time'; granted its common sense, but the wording...

Hi all, thank you for the comments - I think I'll play it safe for now and await an official response from the CAA before attempting any sunset/sunrise flights w/o strobes. I have plenty of time anyway, still getting used to the Mini 3P. I'm a bit of a worrier when it comes to wanting to do...

They're quite possibly the same, or at least similar, but I'll likely write to the CAA to see if I can get an official response & clarification. I'd love to just add some strobes/nav-lights and call it there, but unfortunately if it tips my drone into the 250g bracket I don't have the...

Good points, thank you! I never considered that it could be under 249g, I was just under the assumption that DJI used up every last gram available to them while keeping it in that under 250g class. I've got some baking scales somewhere, so I might give that a go and see what kind of space I...

Certainly feels like it - I feel as if I've got to hop through a few loops to get the information I need. :confused: Very good idea... I'll write up an email to see if I can get a definitive answer. Regarding the page you linked: The CAP722 document from the CAA reads that the basic VLOS...

I like to be optimistic! Unfortunately I've not found it very easy to access concrete, official information that isn't outdated or likely to change before I can keep up with it. I just want to try and do my best to make sure I'm covered with whatever I choose to do, but they don't make it easy...

Quite possibly - I've been trawling a lot of places where night flights and strobes are mentioned, some people mentioning UK, others mentioning US, so I'm just looking for someone well-informed on UK legislature/laws to confirm whether what I've mentioned will require strobes or not. It's all...

Hello! I've just got a couple of questions about rules/laws on some flights in the UK, as the legal jargon is much more difficult to decipher than plain English. For reference, I am using a Mini 3 Pro drone with no additional attachments - it's still 249g. What is the law regarding flying...

Thank you for the welcome! And thanks for this, it's been a good few years since I've used a forum properly. I'll have a look through to see if there's a good starting place. :)

Hi all, it's lovely to meet you; greetings from Derbyshire Dales, United Kingdom. I've been lurking a little while, so I figured I'd make an account and drop in on some conversations, you all seem very friendly and helpful! I've been flying my Mini 2 for around 8 months now and just yesterday...
