I believe the under 2 kg weight category is still restrictive. Unless I have misunderstood. I think the UK CAAs weight categories works well which covers aircraft up to 7 kg and 7 kg to 20 kg.

This information was originally produced by Jumpy07 from the UK Multi Rotor forum which I have taken and updated and hope you find this helpful. Remember fly safe, be respectful and responsible. Area 21 (Adrian)

I would not worry about it.

I don't usually have a rant because of my pleasant positive attitude towards life in general. But I do object to people making money from aerial work when they have not forked out money and time to attend and pass a formal CAA PfAW course that cost me the following: RUSTA course £1300. CAA PfAW...

UK CAA PfAW costs are: Most quality courses are around the £1300 mark for Remote Pilots Cert including 3 days classroom, 1 exam, 1 submitted operational manual vetting, 1 flight test. Then its £224 to the CAA for Standard Permissions. So about £1500 quid. Then its an annual CAA fee of about...

I don't recall any test case regarding 'valuable consideration' being questioned in the UK or elsewhere so until there is it will remain questionable. Can anyone add to this?

I fly 2 of the same aircraft one with WKM flight controller and the other the A2. When you first tested the flight controls were you in gps or atti mode. Were you using the DJI waypoint system. DJI should be able to decode your Iosd black box recorder. Please keep us posted with your findings.

As a professional SUAS operator in the uk I look forward to see what the FAA deliver.

Many thanks SleepyC. Thought this was the case but wanted to check. Kind regards - Area21

Yes whilst the UK weather is decent its fly every opportunity.

I know you don't want to hear this but I use mine with an I pad mini pro and it works 100%.

I have a GH4 fitted to a Zenmuse Z15 gimbal on my SkyJibX4. However I can only trigger the camera to take still photos or video but not at the same time. However my Canon 5DMk2 on the same set up allows me to take video and sill images at the same time which I find very helpful although the...

West Yorkshire area Drone Fest will take place on Saturday 4th June in the center of Pontefract Race Course. Come and race and have some fun.

I have the same gimbal but with my 5D mk 2 and it works perfectly. Can select video or photos or both.

What about SUAS small unmanned aerial system. RPAS remote piloted aircraft system. RPA remote piloted aircraft (model aircraft with no camera or recording system) There needs to be a world wide abbreviation to make it less confusing.

I have 2 x IOSD's with faulty AV1 outlets so have to use the AV2 ones. The IOSD defaults to AV1 when powered up but once I have toggle switched to AV2 it stays locked in.

Lips batteries are classed as a metal fire and can only be surpressed and not extinguished as such. Yes I recall its a class D but the extinguishers are very very expensive black powder and you would need a large one for it to be effective. I carry a std dry powder one which is not ideal but...

So what do you think is best UAVS under 7kg total take off weight (including batteries). I mean best quality video, best quality still image, best airframe, best flight controller, best gimbal and reasonable flight times > 10 mins, best redundancies built in. Any ideas ?

Just checked on Google Earth Pro and both Leeds and Doncaster ATZ are ringed red that prevents ground station being used. I can understand why this would be for Non CAA Certified pilots, but why only Leeds and Doncaster - what about all the other UK ATZ areas ? Any ideas / comments.
