    4726F Low Noise Propellers uk

    I wasn't keen on that shade of red :oops: I think the second ones (in green) were much quieter.

    New MM - Which Serial Number to Use When?

    No, they are completely different things mate. The Flight Controller is a module within the aircraft itself. The serial number on the box is what you give your insurance company when it gets lost/stolen.

    Nightmare

    You've got to wonder if their servers are up to that amount of Mavic's all being activated on the same. I have visions of DJI ddos'ing themselves on Monday ?‍♂️

    Crystalsky Hard Drive - What for ?

    Confirmed, there is no internal hard disk / drive, just some limited local storage. I do this if I run out of MicroSD cards in the field - it's horrendously slow to copy though. But, it's saved me a few times Thumbswayup

    Crashed into another drone! Gimbal & arm repair recommendations? UK

    Ouch :confused: This firm are rated highly by quite a few people on the Grey Arrows Drone Club: Repairs for all DJI Phantom and Mavic Drones | AB Repair UK (they repair Mavics too) DroneDoctor seems to have mixed reviews?

    Would I be outside of UK CAA UAV rules, if ... ?

    I can't speak for the rules in other countries but you'd be breaking the Drone Code if you flew at 170m above the ground here in the UK mate. Why not just go around it?

    Incoming UK Drone laws 2019

    All drone operators flying anything weighing over 250g will have to register with the CAA directly, albeit through a service built by a subcontractor (which I think we all kinda knew would happen anyway). Alongside the online test, operators will also need to display their CAA registration...
