I thought it was good, at least they mention the safety rules.
But then they show the 'expert' with a huge multi rotor on the bench with its props on and he's testing something by spinning a motor up from a laptop. Not clever!

I hear what you say but this guy clearly knows what he's doing and to remove/refit 8 props is a real pain. I wouldn't volunteer to be flown in his 100 kg lift machine though :o

Wasn't a bad cover, apart from using the bloody "D" word

I liked the Black Magic rig, but dam that`s some weight to drop from the sky

Funny that most all of the Norwegian filming would be illegal in the UK. ie built up area and within 50M of the public (although it's difficult to judge exactly).

I lived there for a while in the 1980's and there seemed to be rules for just about everything - maybe their rulers haven't caught up with the technology yet!

I thought it was pretty well balanced.

And a local RC shop told me that since this first went out they ran out of phantoms within a day!
