Another thumbs up for the Pen-F. I have the E3 as well with a big set of lenses but the Pen-F is in another league. Trouble is you think you will just use the drone lenses then are so amazed you go and get a load more as well. If you need advice on what lenses to get for use with the Pen-F...

Installed mine yesterday and did a bit of hovering, they were fine. Nice to see that the new hubs are marked for the direction with a nice engraved CW. TC

I think we all agree

No they wouldn't need a license to do it legally, I disagree

Its the same with all us pilots. We fly for an hour and then sit around with the crew worrying about what might fall off when we take off for the next flight, or looking at PPrune to see who has crashed theirs!

where is the extra drag coming from - just out of interest?

no one knows what it restricts, if anything for us (in the UK). However I would suggest if it restricts most of the things that DJI themself show their drones doing on their website, which are clearly not compliant with any regulations most of us fly by, that that might be a good thing.

An easy way to look at it is where there is benefit - the operation is commercial.

U have used a mini wi fi booster up my mast with great results. run the 12v cable up it to power the osmo and the wifi and off you go TC

<Mine have arrived and there were no issues taking the prop adapters off. The screws are not a standard torx head but a hex security head type. If you get a combination set of security screw bit adapters they you will find the right one there. Likewise my case adaptation was not to pretty but...

Errrr they are not vibrating in flight so flight time has nothing to do with it. I presume you mean that with a flight time of 18 minutes you are saying that the motors will be affected after starting up 20 times?. (20x18=360/60=6) If so we have all had it. DLT have you?

didnt post this.... but my Heliendgain props arrived today. One was built with the blades upside down so needed to be re-balanced and another had a fault in the carbon on the blade. They are sending me a replacement set and I am sending these back Trevor

My take on it : 1 no more rattles 2 stiffer balanced blades 3 no wear and tear taking them off 4 fixed on so cant undo or fall off 5 quieter 6 quicker set up 7 cheaper than a battery

Has anyone actually used a consent form and are prepared to share the bare bones of it with us? Preferable a version usd in the uk? TC

Yes I have seen that . The thread ends asking if the draft for the consent forms had been found, which clearly it hasn't. Time might have moved on from December and I was rather hoping that someone might have had to do a job where they needed to get signed permission and were able to share the...
