    What defines commercial?

    The paragraph concerning 'Valuable Consideration' up to the crate of beer is taken straight from CAP 722. I don't see anything vague or questionable about it. If an operator is better off, either financially or in kind as a direct result of operating a SUA, it is considered commercial gain and...

    What defines commercial?

    Yes, Yes and, Yes it is. A flight is considered to be aerial work if it is undertaken for ‘valuable consideration’. Valuable consideration is defined as any gain you may make from the work undertaken. In even simpler terms: If, because of SUA flying, you are better off at the end of the day...

    Skyjib X4/ DJIA2 crash

    Haven't heard one of these stories where a catastrophic incident occurs after months of unremarkable operation for so long that it appeared as if the GPS Pro puck replacement programme might have settled the issue. Obviously not. You can try and glean something useful from the iOSD data but ...

    A2 firmware v2.4 is incompatible with original Zenmuse Z-GH2

    Ah! there is a Z15-GH2 firmware update that let's it work with the A2 on FW v2.4. Duh.

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    I have almost every Picloc Toolz with corresponding firmware going back to Picloc v2 and TRv3. If the other two posted here don't work, give me a shout.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib X4 operational ceiling

    3000 ft is very conservative. It will still work at 3000 meters with that configuration - although it would be puffing a bit with the effort! As the altitude increases and the air thins you need to consider changing to longer or increased pitch props to maintain performance. So for example, if...

    Z15 BMPCC aperture control

    Has anyone out there managed to get the AUX 1 output of the GCU to actually change the BMPCC aperture? The Z15-BMPCC differs from the GH3 and GH4 versions in that AUX 1 serves a purpose, it is 'reserved' on the others, but although the software assistant shows the three position switch...

    Droidworx AD-8 HLE : complete and RTF - w/ or w/o AV200

    It is time to reduce the number of idle aircraft sitting around here. This Droidworx AD-8 HLE is far and away the most consistent, reliable and predictable in the air of all the helicopters and Multirotors that I have or have had. It can be sold with whatever you would like, in terms of extras...

    Humbled...

    A couple of years ago I was involved to a small degree with Intuitive Aerial when the Aerigon was still known as the Black Armored Drone and the subject of the Flight Control was raised. Specifically, the choice of the DJI A2 for such an expensive piece of kit ... built specifically to carry...

    A2 problems - very unstable bird

    I cannot say that I have had any significant issues with the A2, certainly no more than the WKM, and my IMU is never mounted central. Some folks seem to be able to get away with basic double-sided tape for mounting the IMU, I always use Kyosho Gel to help with isolating the IMU. Your Basic gain...

    X-8 prop directions?

    I am just giving an X-8 an overhaul and the question of rotation for upper and lower props came into my mind. It is currently set up as two independent quads with the lower quad rotated 90° so that each boom has a CW prop and a CCW prop. Theoretically this means that you can lose the entire top...

    Firmware update (V2.5) for A2 pulled after defects noted by users

    You can bind as many receivers to a single transmitter as you like - including in addition to the A2 built in Rx. I have always used two receivers, one for aircraft control and one for the camera/mount.

    Plane avoids "drone".....AGAIN!

    Yup! I have long advocated a two tiered FC system whereby experienced/professional operators have wider access to parameter adjustment and less experienced/dickheads are much more restricted. Evaluation procedures with registration and the issue of a certificate of some nature would precede...

    Plane avoids "drone".....AGAIN!

    We gave up being diplomatic years ago when talking about DJI. There is little doubt that it would have been a Phantom, not because the Phantom itself is bad, but because it is really affordable, sold everywhere and the glossy DJI marketing blares in your face that it does everything by itself...
