Suez Canal ?

It seems that its a world wide thing -- wonder what the governments of these countries are worried about....

While the B.M.F.A. are involved in the talks they seem to be doing Teresa May ( our P.M. )....

Something here in the U.K. we are not allowed to do ( officially ) under the new laws.....

Hi, Read this morning about the unintentional " leak" of details of the new DJI mavic ect says they can fly for 31 minutes & have a range of 8 Km--- the U.K. law says the drone must be visable with the pilots naked eye WITHOUT any aids...... Some eye sight to see 8Km !

Must admit -its quite a read ! Can not make my mind up just what they are up to , trying to get rid of private quads, make money from us ? Thing is for a lot of us its near impossible to comply with the ( proposed) requirements.So what will happen ? i think a lot of people will say sod them &...

Though it should not apply to "Sparky" be aware that the props stir up the air in a room & can cause stability problems--- i have been flying indoors for years, even flown a Cheerson CX20 ( that WAS fun ! ) but the moving air seems to catch lesser quads out--- & their pilots !

They also provide protection for the camera lens.

Could be some one /something has picked it up..........

Got one of those "press on" N.D. filters - this is my result,-

you might have trouble getting the silicone to cure right through.

If nothing else they protect the camera lens from damage!

The R.A.F.( U.K.) found out ( the hard way? ) That the best colour was-- Matt black! So now the trainer aircraft are this colour.

Hi -- do you still have the zoo ? have memory of children going to school on the back of ----- water buffalo ! mind it was 50 years ago......

It was 112 deg in my workshop this morning------ in the U.K. !
