James JAB Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi All, This is what close proximity flying with mini quads is all about for me. You can have so much fun in such a small area and explorer places you might not even walk. This stream was once used to power large waterwheels for Tavistock Bedford Foundry back in 1840's.

Essjay Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Very nice bit of flying there!. I assume your "spotter" was just having a "comfort break". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Williams Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Very clever - and completely illegal. Keep it up - you'll get us all banned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKade Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Very cool... Im sure you were the only one around, so risks were low.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Foxtrot Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 There appears to be a great many people who not only flaunt the law on fpv flying, but also post videos to prove it. I would not be surprised to see the CAA making more prosecutions based on this type of evidence. Real danger of spoiling. It for us law abiding FPV flyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Williams Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hello mods - are you going to allow this forum to host videos of illegal activity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hmm, interesting question David, we'll give that some thought - what are your thoughts James JAB ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James JAB Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 I have reported the post for deletion. I was at this location at 7:30 am on a Sunday to minimise anyone being there. There is one entrance and a rusty (noise) gate so I would of heard anyone coming in. Sorry for irrational posting this. Note to people condemnin this video, if u reply to give your 2cents you give the video more views and more attention which is not what you want, so maybe just report it. Sorry again please mods delete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 We have discussed this one carefully in the back office. Reluctantly we have come to the conclusion that the flight was illegal and we can't have evidence of an illegal activity on here. This is a real pity because the video was very beautiful, and we don't think it was inherently dangerous as such. But sadly it was illegal on a number of counts. James, you are a fantastic pilot and you could have made a lot of that video in a legal way had you made a few changes to scenes and to how you set things up. Sorry mate - we don't make the law but we have to stick within it. BEB PS We've closed the thread as further discussion seem a bit pointless without the video!
