Thanks, no problem .I have found a picture of the John M and it's not her! That would have been uncanny.

Uncanny ! that small tanker in the distance looks like the John M, that I was second mate on in 1980. But it can't be she was ancient then. Can you read the name on the stern?

Excellent! the Spark is very good at that, mine clipped a tree branch, dropped onto a corrugated roof (hell of a bang) the sunshade dropped off then it bounced back into the air and hovered. I could find no damage and am still using same props!. I was only able to find the sunshade as it was...

Sorry just seen this. I fired up my BT 300 and started go4 but with no spark (it is hibernating just now) and it runs just waiting for me to plug OTG in. I am totally confused by the authorisation error I have never seen that before. If it's on the Go4 on the BT 300 could there be a problem...

Presumably you have flown the spark before with phone or tablet but using Wifi? So the spark is connected/paired to the controller with Wifi? but then the controller connects to the phone or BT 300 via a different wifi or the OTG cable. You would not see the spark ssi but the controllers...

I always used an OTG cable not wifi. As far as I recall I would fire up the spark then the controller when spark was connected to controller then plug in OTG to BT300 and it normally offered Epson soar or Go4 so i would select whichever I wanted 'just once' and I was away. I used the modified...

From this Drones | Civil Aviation Authority it seems UK may adopt the EASA regs as they were involved in drafting them. But who knows!

You know something we do not? :>).

Interesting you say no but then in consideration of the following explanation it may be possible? Indeed I run 4.1.15 modded with Epson Bt300 goggles partly as the current djigo4 overloads the Bt300's causing it to run hot. I also modded the spark sport switch to ATTI solely for the purpose of...

I have my sport mode set to ATTI, I wonder if my spark found itself in this situation I could recover it?

I can't wait to get back to Australia again with my Spark!!

Figure of eights? I thought it was only me tried to do that (but not very successfully)!:(

Yes we really are and I hope this year to get some aerial footage of the Undercliff between Seaton and Lyme. There is a large pinnacle of land sliding toward the sea at the Seaton end of the Undercliff that I want to get footage of. It is only visible from the sea or the air!

Great Video and fun to see my home town in the distance!

More work for CAA! I got a link for the land owned by EDDC. https://eastdevon.gov.uk/property-estates/find-out-if-we-own-a-particular-piece-of-land/ If you zoom in on the Axe estuary they seem to think their land extends into the sea including the intertidal zone which is, I believe, Crown...
