So after many years of (half joking) talking about wanting to fly a drone someone went and bought me one - turns out a pretty good one too. This being my week off I decided to finally assemble it and take it for a flight.
The drone in question is a Snaptain S5C 4-axis drone:
I did a quick search on the internet on good places to fly drones and found to my surprise massive restrictions on airspace and distance to residential properties. I didn't really understand this at first but, after a cheeky test in my back garden where I buzzed my next door neighbours upstairs windows by mistake, I begin to realise why.
So I decided to head out to Wollaton Park (the double for Wayne Manor in the batman movies no less) and really had a lot of fun with it and it's camera. Yes I crashed it a few times and nearly got it stuck in a tree but boy was it fun. I have various videos from my little day out but all too big to upload. My flying and photography skills need a lot of work but I did manage to get this one
Anyways - I wondered if we had any other drone pilots on CTA. If you're not and you've fancied it for a bit them go take the plunge. Lots of fun to fly and I've not been scowled at with disgust by that many little old ladies since I was in my teens.
