Does the new one have ATTI ???

Stunning and what a waste to leave it empty. Must have been amazing when in use.

Great thread and very useful to have it in black and white.

based on a wildlife documentary I saw recently fish detected birds and lept out of the water to grab them mid air. Not sure if its just eyesight or if they detect the birds from vibrations/sound? Blue Planet 2: Giant fish leaps from sea and catches bird | Daily Mail Online

Approx 1500M/S in water 340M/S in air. This varies with depth salidity etc but approx 4 times faster in water, and very difficult as a result to ascertain direction.

Got a few shots in the bay and a little filming as we came down the dirt track in a defender towards San Carlos. Unable to upload video due to bandwidth here but will try and get a few photos up asap.

Flew yesterday at San Carlos bay for the landing commemoration. Surprisingly the wind remained low for most of the day. Will upload a few shots ASAP

landed here this week with work and have my trusty Mavic Pro with me. Hoping when the wind allows to get some footage before I go home. Seems to be windy everyday though!! What is the limit in MPH for flying?

Am I correct in saying that in the UK the CAA have an exemption for FPV flying? General exemption E4185 with a competent observer and a number of other conditions you can fly out of sight.

Thanks everyone, not a complete newbie had a Yuneec Typ H and a Phantom 2 so the basic skills I have just transferring over to a new platform that may be quirky. Phone wise I have the new Samsung S8 and the pad is only 18 months old. Prefer to fly from the pad for screen size if I can over the...
