Bring it on!...

Its been a long long haul, but finally got the date through for my RPQs flight test, this coming 22nd of the month, FRC';s submitted and passed, and Ops Manual submitted also, need to get this flight test out the way now.  Slightly nervous about it but confident at the same time, what I';m not at all looking forward to is the waiting time that the CAA are giving us in processing the applications... a friend is well into 6 weeks now ;(

Ive had an S1000 smash into the ground into pieces with camera and gimbal onboard due to an A2 issue, and just the other night my Phantom 2 with all bits and bobs and 5 spare batteries stolen out the car!  :bang head:  but pushing on and getting PFAW asap! (fingers crossed)...

Gah, that';s bad luck about the phantom Mick, and what';s all this about the A2 i read?  Looks like DJI have messed up withat one big time.  Trade it in for a Wookong M!

Cheers and well done

nightmare!

very bad luck indeed, hope everything works out for you in the end.

Cheers chaps, the A2 situation is no secret among operators, from what i hear the CAA themselves have been debating whether to ground all A2 FC';s because of the issues.  I had to go out and get an S900 with Wookong in order to carry on the path I';m on, no time to be feeling sorry myself, but then the Phantom getting snatched with 5 batteries, 3axis gimbal and go pro! then i felt sorry for myself for a little while haha!

The Wookong is not as smooth as the A2 in my opinion but i would get another A2 now if it was for free! Im just hoping things go smoothly now at least until i get PFAW ; )

I wish you well with your endeavours Mick.  Hope all goes OK for you on the day. 

If I were much younger, I would love to do what you are pursuing. At my age, it is all I can do to watch time fly!

Sounds as though you';re having a terrible time of it Mick. Really sorry to hear that though I';m even happier to hear that it';s not put you off. Your determination alone will be enough to see you through by the sounds of it. 

[Mick Koi]

Thanks for the kind comments guys, I just hope the weather is ok on the day and it';s not a wasted journey to South Wales!

And it has been a terrible at times, a few right knocks to confidence and the "am I doing the right thing" debate that';s always going on inside ur head, but with a few positive leads and the potential to hopefully make a viable business out of it all, I can only carry on now. I don';t fancy putting everything up for sale on eBay just yet : )

You';ve done well in the face of some horrid odds Mick. Well done mate     And may the force be with you on your flight day.
