The point re different angles is a good one. In some ways, similar to photography generally. Quite often I look at photos that other people have taken at the same places I've been to and my thought is 'why don't my pictures look that good?' The answer is usually that they're better than me, or...

Agreed.

Interesting reading. Thanks for posting. It looks like the requirement re the 400ft limit, how that applies to cliff edges etc and FPV flying are pretty clearly explained on page 4.

Will be interesting to see what exemptions get negotiated for what reasons over the next few weeks. It does feel like this is being done the wrong way round somewhat - set the date and then sort out the details afterwards. Some stronger regulation isn't a bad thing but I'm not sure this is the...

Further afterthought (I went to get coffee): I did contribute to the discussion. In fact, if you actually bother to check, mine was the comment you took umbrage at. If the fact that I took some time to reply offends you, then an apology you may have. I've been busy. Next time my boss needs me...

Thanks for that. When I need you to organise my social life to suit your needs or there's a desperate shortage of condescension in my life I'll be sure to let you know. Afterthought: and thanks for proving my point so eloquently.

Well that all kicked off quickly. Yet again. Internet Discussion, n. 1. An exchange of views. 2. A pointless slanging match between two or more parties in the fervent belief that if they 'shout' their opinion more often and more forcefully it will make the others change their mind. 3. The...

I'm quite happy if the registration fee is substantial. Yes it will irritate all of us that are committed to having a drone and flying it, but it might serve to put off some of the muppets. The ones that get a drone for Christmas and even though they can barely read the word 'yaw', by New Year's...

Oh I agree there are many gems to be had and differences of opinion are a good thing. I really do like this forum, I am a much wiser pilot from reading it and I am grateful to the experts on here who have probably saved me from being skinned alive by my wife many times over. It’s not the...

I'm just waiting for someone from NASA to open an account. "My drone lost communication with the controller and tried to RTH. Can one of you guys tell me where it was when it ran out of battery?"

Hmmm. I thought I was installing the latest version. Will check though. Thanks.

Did anybody find out how to get this to work? I've got a brand new laptop (Win 10) Couldn't get Assistant to work, so uninstalled it Rebooted Made sure both Windows and the manufacturer are happy with the drivers Rebooted again Checked no driver updates again Downloaded a fresh version of...

Hi from another total newbie in the UK. Glad you're enjoying your Air.

I think I'm going to see how things pan out over the next three or four weeks - what people think when they get their hands on it and start playing with it for real. That and what the price of the MP/MPP does.
