Hi all,

Just wondering if there any like minded phantom pilots close to me in the uk?

Cheers

Dave

Clearly I'm not close to you, but I would like to see any images/videos you take in the area, because I have Great Malvern ancestors, and I visited there about 20 years ago.

Beautiful. Thanks. Can you get some of the town, specifically Sidmouth House on Worcester Road?

Hey, i'm a P3S owner in Worcester! Where do you normally fly? Was annoyed to see recently there is a form, insurance requirements etc to fly up the Malvern Hills

speedbird1984 · Mar 7, 2018

Also out of interest what's the max flight time you've got from your bird?

What form and insurance is required? just out of interest. Fellow UK Flyer.

the form is on malvernhills.org.uk, god knows how they police it!? i'm guessing they require public liability insurance

I use insure4drones.co.uk good cover £1m public liability and repair/replace

There is an R/C flying club that operates from either North or Tank hill area, you often see them sloping on a good day. I'm guessing they had to come to agreement with Malvern Hills so the requirement is probably part of this.
You'd need to be a complete Muppet to fly without insurance in my opinion, so not really a hardship. Especially so in a busy public location like the Malvern Hills.

speedbird1984 · Mar 9, 2018

Sloping?
I'm quite sure my house insurance will cover the material damage side of things. Liability may not be covered though. I mainly fly at a private farm though so less risk. May consider if I can find cheap enough cover.

Slope-soaring, wonderful pursuit.
I use fpv.org for cheap hobby insurance cover
