love a good debate enjoy lol ;)
Nice flight with disco ends with mr boring waving rule book (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFqY7X_PbE4#ws)
Mark, if you fly there at night you'll be encroaching on the privacy rights of doggers. Can't win!
The way I see it is like this.
Sir, am I allowed to park my car here?
Yes? Thanks! Now f*** Off and have a nice day!
Lmao, I like it rich I did tell him at the end I'll be back lol..
A few comments if I may :
1. You were quite right to ask to see evidence of what he was claiming. Too much misinformation ends up being the rules in some peoples minds. In any event you should be able to check this for yourself via the local council, assuming they are responsible for the moorland. The road and car park will almost certainly belong to the council.
2. You do not require to give any personal details except if instructed by a police officer or someone authorised by the courts or in the event of an accident. Been there, done that and it completely flustered the security guy who stopped me. Not model flying related BTW.
3. I personally would be a little concerned that you were flying consistently very close to and along a public road. From what I could hear on the audio track that did not appear to be the problem though.
4. I see you had goggles. No spotter? Worth their weight in gold if you are immersed in your video. Looking at it not from the perspective of avoiding hitting other people, you could have been caught unawares by others less polite than Mr Boring, who only appeared to engage you after landing.
some valid points there, I was more annoyed that he (quoted in the video) that they have 2 arangements with horse riders and paragliders (which I did for 7 yrs I might add), ironically I will show you in a later video where paragliders come into land not on the main face of pendle but actually fly over the road about 20 ft max and land into wind on the grass slope along side the road, interms of being distracted which he mentioned in the video that is more distracted motorists to be honest but its a (arrangement) as he quoted.it was actually just a short test I was barely in the air for 5 mins I was about to come in before he pulled into the carpark im not a fan of people ramming rules down my throat not when all around me was used condoms etc (not mine I might add), at night they must be at it like rabbits lol, but again it all boils down to me ...................but im going back lol going drive up past the point they own and then fly down to exact spot I was parked ;) :laugh:
Careful you don't slip on those condoms. Come to think of it, surely they are a skid hazzard. If I were you I'd get onto the council straight away :P
Clearly someone saw you and reported you... I would have declared my right to face my accuser, then I would demand a trial by combat. I shall choose Brienne of Tarth to be my Champion.
Lmfao @ electro
He was actually , driving past Chris or so he says lol

Go for it he looks a right Prat prob only just got the job anyway ;D
maybe he is on commision ;)
dizzy :)
Rrr .. I hate this.
"There's no law but we don't think you should be flying here because it's council land"
Mark .. are you a rate payer? Tell him to sod off. You're a member of the public, you pay your council tax, you expect to be able to use the land. No bylaws? No problem.
Should have told him to do his f***ing job and pick up the rubbers so you could enjoy the public land while you fly your copter.
Cheers Steve, when I was driving away ironically as well I still had the camera rolling all I was saying to myself I wish I said this and that now damn annoying ..
haha isn't that always the way :)
Please excuse me on this one (living in Berlin now) but was that a proper bobby or one of those wannabe wombles?
Thought the vid was great and putting him on the spot was tops! Well done lad.

It was a council employee, little better than a rent-a-cop .. no authority.

Rent-a-Cop LAMO 😂
Like it.
It is right 😀
In the "authority" business... you need to either...
a. be a policeman... an actual recognised authority figure.
b. provide evidence/paperwork/by-laws/codes and so on.... before you jump the gun and start chastising people.
If he saw you flying, and knew exactly which law or code or by-law you were contravening then he should have been able to quote the exact rule and it's source, or show you (electronically from a website for example). Otherwise he could be talking out of his arse

good points there chris like steve said too just a jobsworth prick
Whilst I would also have questioned him on his knowledge of the rules, regs and byelaws if I were flying there too, its impossible to know the backstory. For instance:
Jobsworths Boss: "Jobby, can you head over to the car park on the moors, the one with all the condoms. We've had some complaints of someone being a nuisance."
Jobsworth: "Ah boss, do I really have to? whats the problem?"
Boss: "Yes you do, just go over there with your chevronned van thats meant to look authoritative and see if you can scare him away as we're getting more grief every week from the general public regarding this 'drone' flying malarkey. Just the other day an old lady reported that a drone flew up her dress, and only last month a young man reported that a drone tried to steal his car... and his girlfriend!"
Jobsworth: "Sheesh! Ok boss, heading over there now... but I doubt it'll do any good. I'll probably get an ear bashing."
Poor old Jobby Jobsworth could have just been the unfortunate messenger, we will never know.
Lmfao krikey I loved that made my evening that 😂
:laugh:
krikey I admire your thoughts but I have to say if I was Jonny Jobsworth and my boss told me to do that Id probably just pretend to have done it when asked and gone for a sandwich instead :D
This guy was prepared to argue the case, therefore my opinion is that he was probably someone who thinks he has power (not unlike mall security "guards" who seem to love trying to look like fat Jason Bourne knockoffs).
Lol, @steve
Mark, sorry mate but you, ve got previous for leaving cameras running! :-XRemember when I bought an Ez osd a couple oy years ago and you also included a key ring camera, well, ther was a card in the camera and when I played it back .. . I'm not going into on here, the content is far too sensitive of nature for members on here. . . :o
. . By the way, the gps never worked but by the time I got round to trying it I felt too much time had gone by to tell you but if you want to have a look at it, I will ensure that the content doesnt go on general release :D

Stop teasing. In the interests of exposing and clamping down on any behaviour which might bring FPV into disrepute we all need to see what he gets up to in the privacy of his own home. PM everyone on this Forum if it is too bad for public viewing. ;D
Not 'til he's fixed my gps ;D
Lmfao rafter you have me worried lol....
Rafter you can't make a post like that without showing stills at least. Come on, do the right thing.

If the video content is the same as my thoughts of what I intended to do then don't show it. Lol
You could make a bob or two if you upload it to one of those adult sites though lol
It is right 😀
Mark, be afraid, be VERY AFRAID. Your secret is safe with me and as the Prime Minister would say, "I REFER TO THE ANSWER I GAVE EARLIER"
BUT, a thought has just occurred to me, what are members on here willing to offer for a sight of the contents, I await offers . . . .

You are gonna have to show us a snippet first so that the rest of us can have a debate Mr Prime Minister lol
It is right 😀

Ill fix the GPS or buy you a new one!
Haha!

Mark's already offered this but I told him that it would take more than that..... The damage it has done to my mental state you wouldn't believe. You're all going to have to offer a lot more before the pics hit the airways. PMs are not allowed, this isn't a secret auction. I'm not asking for much, just something that will help me forget.
A wack on the noggin with a rounders bat should do it;D
lol, i though it was normal tbh what was going on on that sd card..
