    BNUCs, to renew or not to renew???

I have had a reminder from EuroUSC that my BNUCs is due for renewal (if I want to renew) but obviously this is no longer necessary as you can renew PFAW direct with CAA, are there any benefits of keeping your BNUCs? I have had...

    New safety video

    Anyone seen this? Apparently it was produced in association with the CAA! Personally I don't think it addresses enough of the regs, no mention of 400'Agl 500m etc. Let alone insurance. I know it's not aimed at professional users but it's missing out on a chance to inform. Also how will it ever...

    Best video ever made with S1000

    OK Go - I Won't Let You Down - Official Video: http://youtu.be/u1ZB_rGFyeU Very clever video indeed, this will have you thinking. the drone is a DJI S1000, Zenmuse Z15 gimbal and GH4, piloting skills are good but the really clever bit was the transition from inside to out. They used a ride-on...

    Just read this http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=14&pagetype=65&appid=7&mode=detail&nid=2364 It's good to know our interests are being protected.

    Super G2 Ultra stabi

    Looks like even those with a super G2 on a full size heli have stability problems. It was interesting to hear that they needed the 4k res to allow enough headroom to post stabi the image. Here is the video.

    WKM stability in GPS/ATT not as good as ATT mode

    I have found that flying in attitude mode with my hexa it is much smoother (video smoother) than when it's in gps/att. In gps mode the footage has small "twitching" movement and it is especially less stable when descending. Has anyone else found this and if so would changing any of the advanced...

    DJI WKM Hexa yawing right

    Thought I had everything set up just right after some minor repairs following a crash. The crash was due to the hexa seemingly going out of control (earlier thread relating to this) so after some careful examination I can’t see anything that would have caused the problem. So now I have replaced...
