Yeah thats fine PM me the details, I know your jumping through the hoops

I have a page here, http://www.suasnews.com/uk-uav-aerial-photography-contacts/ that needs filling up, peeps in the UK are welcome to have a free listing just as long as they are licenced by the CAA G

No not in the UK, its legal to fly a multirotor for hire and reward as long as you have the paperwork. Funny how this story has been picked up all over the place yet that company has been trying to get in with newspapers for more than a year. Its only the Murdoch connection that is getting...

There is also the height factor creeping in. You end up with tall platforms.

Vibrations increase the noise just look at the accel raw graph and you will see vibration in the system.

Well you can always look at the scopes, I am not familiar with the vibration measuring tools you mean.

No you won't Ross, its a blanket permission, not above 400' and 500m distance from take off.

Perfect Ross, well done now you just need to write your safety case for the CAA, something you would have had to have done with the BNUC as well and send off the form and £100 and something quid. Looks for form...

Well as long as you are properly licenced you have nothing to worry about, thats an old video that I believe has been used in a couple of meetings where regulations have been discussed. Its exactly why regulations are coming and was foreseen by the CAA in the UK years ago. That's a rule 5 breach...

Dave you will have to be able to fly to BMFA standard with the BNUC thing anyway. The BMFA is an excellent organisation and I really wish they had jumped in with the licencing thing.

@Droider if you don't have time to learn to fly your Blade and get a BMFA ticket then the CAA will expect you to turn up with something else. The only show in town is the full BNUC at the minute I don't think they will let you do flight test only.

I would go and get a standard BMFA A rotary ticket with a standard helicopter and don't tell anyone you are going for commercial AP in the end. I have heard of several places upping the price as soon as they know what you need it for! Especially those near Salisbury Plain. Once you have your...

I have a real flying licence so that helps with these hoops, as such I did'nt do that course and am considering creating my own for people if there is enough interest. The BMFA route will be closed completely soon so if I were you folks instead of whinging I would get on and get the BMFA ticket...

Welcome Hugh, if you are in the UK and flying for hire and reward you will have to get conversant with this I am afraid http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=33&pagetype=65&appid=11&mode=detail&id=415 Its not too difficult and well worth it.

Think your showing your age there Crash!

A cheaper way is being found, Dave will elaborate when its all in place.

Top job Tony, well set up quad that. I think 30 seconds less flight time might have been better ;-) How will it look with GPS and mag baro I wonder. Top tuning Tony.

Both I think, I don't know much about digital servos. They are good for dual servo setups because if one fails they go slack and the other working one can still push or pull the surface. The big scale stuff and 3D use that I think.

Yes the board can run upto 400Hz I think but could be wrong that digital servos run 240-260Hz and normal 50 of course. Just did a quick search Futaba and JR do 333Hz
