Just to echo the above. I would recommend RUSTA and I use an Inspire with no problems. You will just struggle to get an exemption from the standard safe distances with a quad. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

That's right - they would not belive you could build a redundant hex under 7kg which I think would be easy now with current tech. 600mm frame with the n3 FC. Twin GPS and batteries etc. Carrying thr X5 camera. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

After a long phone call with them I got the blunt impression they belive that only a six rotor plus craft weighing over 7kg with redundant everything would get a OSC passed. The M600 might be the cheapest way to.go? Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Ground school was a while ago! Thanks for the info Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Hello, I have had my first request for a building survey within controlled airspace in Bournemouth, Dorset. The issues it they need it done tomorrow! The flight is outside the Bournemouth Airport ATZ but inside the class D CTR airspace. I understand I need permission from Bmth ATC for this...

Has anyone with an Inspire managed to get less restrictive permissions? Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

The 50m is a slant line from the aircraft - horizontal separation decreases as the aircraft ascends. The rule for take off/landing is 30m separation changing to 50m afterwards. So 50m altitude the horizontal separation is technically zero - though overflying is not allowed. Also it's not roads...

How good is the photo quality for building surveys compared to the X5 with a 45mm lens. Is the extra cost worth it or a waste of money? Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Email sent - I am interested in working with you but I agree with IrishSights £200 is way to low.

Yes I have some some research and you are right the M600 is big! I might try and find an s800 evo new for sale - could that be converted to fly with two batteries? I have also found a switching unit that can run two flight computers! Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

I used RUSTA who were very good Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

Hi, I am looking at replacing my Inspire with a M600 for building inspection work due to the longer flight time and increased redundancy. Am I correct in that the M600 can fly following the lost of a single battery or propellor/motor/esc - and with the pro version of the A3 there is redundancy...

I second rusta - that's who I trained with. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

I was told that even with a parachute I would be unlikely to be successful for reducitnwg the standoff distances. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk
