  1. I think the point Andy was trying to make is that permits are not required sub 400ft and 7.5kg, hence free. Whilst I accept there MAY be some cost and we need to be vigilant and pro active it would be unreasonable to assume that prohibitive pricing is to be expected. All that would do would be to drive a large number of people to criminality

    With some mindful  and considered responses, which I look to the BMFA and LMA to provide and present on our behalf, reason may yet prevail. 

  2. Ron you are correct we have a document with points for discussion, the document being a fact.

    If there is no approval and one can fly with RID why go down the approved site path. You could argue that by non approval and the requirement to have RID imposes an unwarranted 'burden/expense' on fliers and that would certainly be one to be challenged as it would be arbitrary.

    I can think of all manner of gremlins lurking but until we know more I do not wish to stir the pot, let alone give the regulators the opportunity to consider money making schemes which they have not thought of. 

  3. Again we are making our minds up with no concrete facts.

    But I will say this, should the CAA deem a site unsuitable, despite the fact it may have been located and used for many years I think claims for compensation MUST be sought. certainly if you have paid a rent in advance or have a lease running, I would expect and urge the BMFA to go to Court on this matter and maybe even go to Court to overturn a CAA decision. And members of the BMFA should encourage it to do so as OUR national body.

    However we need to see the factual proposals before we can make a considered response.

  4. Sunny and no wind, jus a little cool. The CAP 232 out today after its maiden some weeks ago. 3 flights but last landing not so and pulled undercarriage off. No other damage so lucky. However noted the elevator servo is quite stiff so think I will change it.  The foamboard Bloody Barron had two flights. Its a real treat.

    Wednesday looks a potential nice weather day ??11

  5. Digital storage is fine, but it can decay and come the day when energy to power equipment isnt there or heaven forbid authority takes and limits control paper will still be about. I appreciate photos can fade, particularly from digital printing. Old style photos fade too i know. But keptin albums pages closed not so readily. We have books and manuscripts going back thousands of years....

  6. Cannot say I am a fan of the two loosing semi finalists playing a match. I understand the financial attraction for the game, provided the lesser nations get a bigger share, otherwise its not relevant. The object of the competition is to determine a winner not 1st 2nd 3rd place losers!.

    Hopefully the seeding will be better next world cup. That said I have enjoyed this one.
