I'd be interested to know where we stand with insurance.  Will BFPVMFA insurance be OK at the flying field?  All BFPVMFA members can provide copies of the insurance certificate (its here in fact: http://www.bfpvmfa.org/downloads/CertifcateOfPublicLiabilityInsurance.pdf) and proof of their membership.

If only BMFA insurance is valid then everyone will need to fly with buddy leads, a practice which the BMFA accident stats show are a major cause of accidents (the buddy lead coming out, being tripped over and pulling both Txs from people's hands, etc).

Your very welcom Simon. ( my first post:))

Funny, did you have to show any insurance when you were flying in France? I know they didn't ask me for any, and i certainly didn't Fly with a buddy box, did you? I know the Frence have their own rules, but where all under EASA control, arnt we?

[simondale]

I think the French attitude is "don't worry about it".  The range of frequencies and powers of both video and control were surely illegal over there.  Even my 35MHz RC radio isn't legal in France and I doubt they got any special permissions.

Off topic: one thing I like about this forum is that you can press "notify" and get an email updating you when a thread is update.  I wish RCG would do that.

There is, #
If you subscribe to a thread it asks you if you want an instant email notification.

if your already subscribed, i guess you'll have to unsubscribe the re-subscribe so you can select this option.

I am planning on coming to this, but will have to get me some insurance.. I didnt renew my BMFA this year, (due to their stance on FPV flying).. I havent flown due to having so much on at uni so I havent bothered getting any, I will have to sort that out when I get home

Should be a gret warm friendly event that will be a blast !

[Coyote]

More than welcome Mark, as you can see we are all addicts and find it more than enjoyable helping people get into the hobby and make the best informed decissions to get what will work best for them.

Your goals and expectations are personal and so should be your system choice depending on your wishes, there is no perfect system for everything. Come along and see how many different systems there are and pro` con`s and why they are applied for each purpose
