Dave, spend a few hours on a sim, then borrow/steal a 600 size heli & do the A test, its FREE!!!! I'm hoping to do mine on Saturday as my mate who I fly with is area examiner for helis ;) Ross

I know how you feel Dave, you see all these lucky guys out flying & we have over the top winds....mind you this week is looking great for flying. Ross

Hi Terry, you will not go far wrong with a DX201 available from rangevideo or any other pixim chip camera to be honest. Ross

Nice one Gary, will have a word with my mate who is a local examiner & see what he can do. http://www.bmfa.org/achievement/files/Hel-A-2011.pdf Ross

Hi Gary, Good points. Is it the BMFA A we need? Im concerned as the BMFA tests ask for manouvers tht I'm sure a MR aircraft can't do!!!! Ross

Dave I think it's about time people in this country woke up to the difference between legal & lawful!!! Legal is a statute & only given the force of law with our consent, for more info please check out "John Harris", It's an illusion on youtube....be prepaired to be shocked. Ross

Geoff, I've just read CAP722 & it seems so much doesnt apply to us. They mention having a BMFA a cert for less than 7Kg weight. I did read some where that the test for UAS commercial use if about £1100!!!! Complete rip off. Ross

It was about 3 years ago I first learned that it was the actual motor that makes the beep beep beep sounds, great stuff ;) I'm still not sure how it works, but it must work like a speaker....magnet....coil.....etc etc As for the timing, if it squeals when under load....up the timing. Ross

Take off soft start, if your in a decent & need to rip her open, then there could be a 15 second delay!!!! What props have you gone for? Ross

Thanks Bart, now I see you have the same I2C as myself, so I'm watching closely ;) Ross

Bart, thats looking really good, can I ask where you get the stand off mounts from? Ross

Thanks Dave, I find a job is so much better if its something you really enjoy...hence why the MR camera ship ;) Ross

MombasFlash, I came into the MR world via a trex600ESP heli, with a underslung askman mount, which has a seperate RC receiver with live video downlink that my mrs uses to control the camera with. It carried my canon 40D many a time, but was right on the weight limit...landing was fun....full...

hahahahaha I would get kicked off of here for posting the shots of her indoors...I have in excess of 20,000!!!!! The C27 has been around for a while, one crashed at Fairford in 2002 from memory, I missed the shot as I was behind a hangar looking at stuff I shouldnt have been ;) Glad you like...

I sure did Kilby, via a canon 40D & a 100-400 F5.6L lens. Shame they are looking over compressed on here. Ross

PART 2 Some snobby posh git thought the no entry signs didnt apply, he didnt bargain on a CHiP being at the end of the lane ;) The old bill made him reverse 1/2 mile back up the road, I couldnt stop laughing at him ;) ;) Belgium F16 pulling 9G Dutch F16 pulling over the top...
