Thanks for posting this link Brucey - very good.

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

That'll be another few thousand phantoms sold>:(

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!
