The solo pro was a lovely little helicopter, I could fly it within an inch of its life "indoors"..... it was great fun showing off in the village hall

looks like way too much fun, just been looking at those Phantom 3 and 4's , pricey but didn't realise things had come on so far with Quadcopters

I like having control of the sticks.... these "program a course and sit back and watch" quads are no fun at all! They are like Windows 10..... sit back and let it take control........ I prefer to "fly" in DOS mode Where the hell is "fun" AND skill involved if the thing flies itself??!!! I am seriously against regulation etc. but these "mobile phone" guided drones are an accident waiting to happen and will, inevitably, lead to experienced pilots (such as moi) being tarred with the BAN Brush.

The only interest I have in those is for the aerial photography , personally would love a go at that and could get me some shots I could never get on foot. Obviously theres idiots out there that fly them way too high, accident waiting to happen for low flying aircraft

12C here today Leo..... 12C!! That was the "high"..... 9th of July FFS and 12C / overcast / raining is a typical "summer".
12C at 2pm mate..... that's not cricket..... the sun is up there but the clouds never lift.
What's it like with you?
Mike.
