Was looking at one of these how good would it be to take pics of the club stands from up in the air.......
What's that about needing a Civil Aviation Authority license to fly one? I fly R/C aircraft and unless they go over a certain weight and size a CAA license isn't required. This drone doesn't come anywhere near the criteria.

Think I saw that on the gadget show a while ago, looks fun if not a tad pricey..

I mostly scratch build from plans, and have built, flown, and crashed many types. Currently have a 1/4 scale Tiger Moth and Hurricane in build, both with large 4 stroke I/C engines.
Also have a 71" wingspan Sukhoi Su-26 and a similar size Extra 300 aerobatic aircraft that have flying at the moment. The Sukhoi is a ***** to fly, really twitchy.
I have always wanted to fly a helicopter, but the difficulty and amount they cost has put me off a bit!!
Near where I am they hold massive events for R/C aircraft its also where the TOC have one of there sprint days.
I love the lancs and spitfires there amazing to watch
I own the AR-Drone. What a great bit of kit. It flys strait out of the box and anyone can fly it. Very stable.
There's quite a few different control apps on the iPhone. Parts are easy to get as well. ( you will need extras trust me ). I can definitely recommend if your anyone is thinking of buying one of these. Also there is a few ways to mod it

Here is mine with a little light mod
I also have a 3d nitro 50 class rc helicopter but that's a serious amount of work.
