Seems there's a competition and demos for small drones at DIC on the 6th + 7th. Lots of work going in to the setup of the arena etc. Might be interesting for the PH'ers that like burying model aircraft in the sand smile

I think i would be hopelessly outclassed with my humble Parrot drone......

That said, the pioneers have to start somewhere, so i am currently researching a range extending modification, and carefully researching payloads.

Just as Icarus sought to escape using his wings, and the wright brothers gave the world powered flight, i dream of nothing more than waking on a friday morning, gin induced fug still hanging heavy in my head, and flying the drone to the shop across the road to get my breakfast Marlborough Lights.

we have a film crew at site at the moment. next month they're coming back with an 8 rotor commercial drone complete with FPV and a £12k camera. must have some serious comms as well given the longest panning shot will be 6km across rough countryside!

having shown them such good hospitality this trip they have agreed to let me have a go. fools!

that would be more interesting than the truth so far. very little has happened.

they're shooting a marketing vid aimed at winning more government projects here. should be decent given the one they did for peru.
