Awesome video! looks like you guys had a fab time.

1200ft on dartmoor, the highest I have been but won't be doing it again as I don't see the point because I can get these images from google earth. I much prefer to be between 200-300ft as it makes for better video.

Hi, I live in Torquay and would like to meet up with other phantom pilots.

I remember the first time i set waypoints with Litchi and set my p4 off on its journey, it went behind a structure and i lost contact which scared me to death but shortly after it came back online and was still continuing with the course i had set. I have since made many more flights where my p4...

Absolutely right that you should be licensed and insured when using a loaded gun and I really don't see the similarity between your hobby and mine. When you pull the trigger you have no further control over the lead expelled from the barrel. I on the other hand can stop, RTH, land or use...

Why would any of us buy a uav if we followed the rules to the letter. If we cannot fly where people are nearby we would hardly ever take off and we certainly couldn't go to the local park which you see in many videos. I agree some rules need to be adhered to, airports etc. but it is common...

Thanks guys, mind at rest.

I am well aware that used batteries need to cool before doing anything with them but the question is, after the maximum flight time the battery is obviously hot and i would think it has warmed one or two components directly or indirectly, do i need to rest the p4 for a few minutes before putting...

Great Video and well explained. This just confirms what I already know but it is good to see the numbers involved. Hopefully it will ease the scepticism others have. I see you have silver for reflection and wondered if there is much difference between this and copper or any other reflective...

Thanks. Like yourself, now i have done it I don't feel the need to do it again.

Thanks for the advice.

I have a cheap CTC printer off eBay similar to this CTC 3D Printer - Dual Extruder - MK8 - Factory Direct Lowest Price- ABS/PLA | eBay

I printed my own and stuck on copper sheets. Works really well and would recommend them.

Excellent video well done. I liked the fireworks in the distance really cool. I too did a maiden night vid but decided to sync it with a day vid on the same flight plan. here is the result.
