    GPS Jamming, threat to Mulitrotors

    That was brilliant Andy! Spot on! Literally lists each occurrence and theres Cumbria at the top. Much easier than my way of clicking big red circles on a map and trying to decipher what ever language they're written in. Cheers!

    GPS Jamming, threat to Mulitrotors

    I found this CAA document: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAPAP2003_09.PDF Really dry at first but then goes into detail about GPS and various failures that have occurred. And then I got bored again. But looks 'informative'.

    GPS Jamming, threat to Mulitrotors

    I see what you mean now. There's a big jamming area over Cumbria for two weeks which partly covers southern Scotland. Great topic!

    2 devastating crashes in a month using Wookong

    First off, Canadian Arctic...Awesome! Crashes not awesome. Have you a military or aviation background because that was a great post with plenty of detail, that's what we like here! Did you consider a motor or ESC as a suspect? A poor solder joint can give up when you start pulling power hence...

    GPS Jamming, threat to Mulitrotors

    Of course! That's a jolly good idea! I use the google maps NOTAM feature which shows everything graphically. Much easier to interpret. Cheers!

    GPS Jamming, threat to Mulitrotors

    As far as I can tell official jamming is not that often and in localised regions. That one in the south west and in Wales are the only ones I've seen pop up. They're in military zones usually so unlikely we're going to operate from there anyway.

    Insurance companies

    Ask ResourceUAS. They have started their version of the BNUC-S and I think they know a thing or two about insurance. You can call them as they're very very helpful on the phone. Cheers!

    Want more air time

    Go 4S. Longer flight times and everything runs cooler.

    The best lens to use with a Lumix GH3?

    I use the 14mm, albeit with a GH2. I filmed this with it. Came out okay. http://youtu.be/0gLeI2OmYvs

    How to make my S800 EVO portable?

    I got my 1650 for around £420 and it came with a RukPac which turns into a backpack. Bloody uncomfortable though. Although I love the 14mm I've had such limited experience with different lenses so I can't make an informed comment. The Zenmuse can be modded to accommodate the GH3. I think...

    How to make my S800 EVO portable?

    Mines portable as I have no car. I use a Peli 1650 case. It wouldn't work with the retracts I don't think as you'd have to separate the two halves to fit. There is another case (a boxy looking one) where you can keep your skids and Zenmuse in one piece.

    Which site do you use and how do you interpret the data? I use this one: http://www.n3kl.org/sun/noaa.html Is there a more thorough/correct way to check? How should I interpret the data? Yes, I'll read some more....

    Did you have full GPS lock? I see lots of tall trees. Have you checked the data logger on the iOSD?

    Wedding photog smashes groom with Phantom

    I just don't understand what shot he was trying to get? It's called freaking Aerial Photography for a reason.

    What are flight modes?

    ...and please don't just take off and start pressing switches!!!! Know what they do first and check they work. There is no such thing as 'Ready to Fly' that just means all the parts are included. These things can still slice your face or that of a kid. Play safe. Cheers!

    Understanding Lithium Polymer batteries

    That's what I believe a milliohm to be. My GensAce have 2milliohms of resistance after a year of use. Same as the day I got them. Pretty good huh?
