    Need suggestions for my trip to the UK

    You may or may not know that Tintagel is reputed to be the birthplace of King Arthur, this has been decried by several/most historians over the years as being fanciful at best and some saying that Arthur never even existed. They are excavating at Tintagel as I type and one of the finds is the...

    Need suggestions for my trip to the UK

    You add Tintagel and St Michaels Mount to your list but really any part of the Cornish coast is stunning, especially the North coast. Don't rule out Bodmin moor either.

    P3 Standard - Initial Impression

    I wanted another battery so bought the Standard, got the extra battery I wanted plus a cheap backup quad, no brainer really. Agree totally about the quality of the control unit and like you have already ordered a more substantial device holder.

    Why was this drone operator arrested and fined?

    I really dislike using car analogies as they are not at all representative of what we are discussing here. The number of people on the planet has no bearing either. And as I work in construction in the UK I have been taught that there is no such thing as an accident, rather there is a chain of...

You say you fly helicopters, well the Phantom is a lot more stable than any Heli I have ever flown (take your...

    Why was this drone operator arrested and fined?

    Steve, read the online edition of the "Daily Mail" a UK newspaper, it's running a story about a child who lost an eye to an FPV Quad, there really should be laws to govern stupid people and those who defend them.

    Check out the daily mail online, they are running the story as well and I must admit that it looks and is really bad.
