  I use FS Base goggles.  Went for a ride with Juz the other day wearing these.

  Bloody WOW.

  Did let a bit of light around the edge of goggs, but otherwise very comfy.  Was teamed up with a TBS69 camera. The picture was brilliant.

  Thanks Dave,

  I don't understand why this document applies only to fixed wings - note the exclusion for rotary wings. I checked the website QLD gov website but no mention of copters.

  The logical assumption is that no mention = no rules??   I'm seeing opportunities to for schools to do their own biology / physiology prac session given the wording of advertisements such as this.

   

  "DJI Phantom Quadcopter Aerial Rig

  The DJI Phantom incorporates ground breaking technology that will reshape the accessibility of aerial filming for the future.  The stability and nearly hands-free flight characteristics with GPS position and altitude hold will shock and amaze you.  Don’t worry if you have never flown a RC aircraft, this is so simple almost anyone can fly it! Charge the LiPo battery, mount your GoPro camera, iPhone or Android smart phone and install 4 AA battiers in the transmitter then you are ready to film - that's it - that quick!"

  I have the same problem with Dualsky batteries... they puff after one good charge (and this is with a cutoff charger)! However, mine are still working reliably... not sure if they'll make 100 cycles or not... will wait and see.

  I'm not a fan of the dualskys, the 3 that I've got have all puffed up. Have been relatively nice to them in terms of charging as well.

  The turnigy nano-tech and thunderpowers are all pretty damn good by comparsion.
  Voltage drop on the dualskys now is pretty average too.
