I’ve just completed the Remote Pilot Qualification – Small Unmanned Aircraft (RPQ-S) training and check flight. I am now available for professional flying and photography with my DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ with my colleagues in Aerial Ace Photography.

Sports Weekend
Our bonkers friends in Devon, Simon and Mandy, kindly organise a Sports Weekend every year. This time I filmed it with the Phantom 2 Vision+.
And it’s still dry!

A36 to Mali Losinj
For our first big trip in the A36 we flew from Denham (EGLD) near London, to Mali Losinj (LDLO) Croatia, for the EuroGA.org fly-in.
While there I took the chance to fly the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ quadcopter – some footage is included here.

A36 to Croatia
The Bonanza is finally airworthy! The engine has been zero-timed and we’ve replaced the Garmin GNS530 with a Garmin GTN750. Also added are an ADL120 datalink weather box and a PMA8000BT Bluetooth Audio panel.
For our first major trip we joined the EuroGA.org fly-in to Mali Losinj in Croatia. Strong headwinds gave us a 6 hr 5 minute flight outbound, but with tip tanks installed we landed with 37 US gallons of fuel, over three hours reserve. After a day and a half socialising and flying the Phantom 2 Vision+ (video to follow), we returned to the UK in glorious weather.
Phantom in the Rain
A short flight over Marlow in the rain.

DJI Phantom 2 Vision+
New toy: DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ with gyro-stabilised camera. Confused? Let go of the controls and it comes to a GPS hover. WiFi signal lost? (800m). It flies back to the start point and lands. Wonderful fun. Each battery lasts about 25 minutes (get three!).
First flight last night ably assisted by expert RC fliers Andy and Tony.
