Hi, after some of your thoughts here again.
I‘m a relatively experienced operator, having owned and flown a Phantom 3 Standard and currently a Mavic 2 Pro on a recreational basis. I have current operator and flyer IDs and insurance.
With the new UK rules coming into force after the 31st Dec I am giving serious thought to ditching (not literally!) the 2 Pro and getting a Mini 2. My logic is that it seems, having read the CAP722 that I can get much better use of the Mini in terms of where I can use it and proximity to people, than I can with the 2 Pro.
I know that the 2 Pro is far superior in every respect as a flying machine and photography/video platform but if we are massively restricted in where we can fly it, that is of little value.
Am I missing something here, would the A2 CofC give equivalence in terms of restriction, because from what I am reading, it doesn’t appear to give anything more than I can do presently under the existing rules. Additionally after two years, I would have to buy a new quad or face greater restrictions.
Appreciate your thoughts...
