The whole congested area definition is another can of worms probably worthy of a thread of its own. As Ben mentioned 3 posts above this, I brought up the issue of the subjective definition in another thread.

This really is an excellent thread and much needed in my opinion. Thanks to everyone for their input, especially jes1111 for the great summary above. Another incredibly grey area I have difficulty with is the true definition of a congested area. The ANO defines a congested area as being 'any...

Pretty much the same conclusion I came up with. From my calculations, when taking into account miscellaneous weights from wires and connectors, I reckon twin GensAce 4000 lipos would bring it in under 7 kg. Based on the DJI flight times, you should still be able to get 10-12 mins of flight with...

Thanks Ben, yeah he's busy for sure. I have been trying to contact him since last wednesday and eventually I've just managed to speak to him. Safety case has now been submitted with map and mitigation so I'll just sit and wait now!

At present, how do people go about getting the permission to fly a >7kg craft in a congested area. I realise things will change after October 31st, but what is the process at present?

Quinton and Benjamin Kenobi How are you guys finding the Coolice PSUs. I'm looking to upgrade my charging facilities and this seems a good buy.

Hi kloner, are you saying that it is possible to record in 4K and have the HDMI output in 1080i? I wonder if this means it would work with the zenmuse HDMI convertor?

Is it a temporary ban though or just a suspension of new PFAW to P2V operators? And how many licensed P2V operators are there? From my experience there are a lot of unlicensed operators flying P2V on the cheap and they are going to take absolutely no notice of this whatsoever. There's an...

The music is just some stock royalty free music from Audiojungle. I believe the artist was Olivertangen and the piece is called "Perfect Wedding" - kind of chosen because the place the video is shot at is now used for wedding reception parties. The setup I'm using is in my signature but is...

Been making the most of the good weather here in the UK and getting in some practice before my final CAA permission comes through.

Are you sure this is right? From my experience, the initial home point is set when the craft finds 6 or more satellite, whether the flight mode is set to Atti or GPS. The manual states "Before takeoff, the current position of the aircraft will be saved as the home point when you push the...

Definitely twin batteries for me....for the safety/redundancy reasons mentioned above.
