So, it's an actual real product and not just pretty pictures. Nice plastic wrapping around what I suspect is just a standard quad. I like the props. They look like normal airplane props.
yes it's in my basement! a lot of them but I am very pleased to see how fast they are selling. I think I only have 5-6 left from the initial batch order.
I am also getting soon replacement parts and the entire (I wish) DJI product lineup.
so S800 and all on the way (soon)
If you are around drop by and I'll let you fly mine!
Oh, why the SFOC then? Just for fun? I've sort of thought about doing that too. I know several people who were able to get a blanket yearly SFOC for certain regions, after having established a track-record with TC. So I'm thinking of getting started on that.
Are you saying that you are just using your MAAC insurance to cover you for the insurance requirement of the SFOC? If so, then I'll definitely get started.
I don't have any business insurance, don't have a business started yet. I'm not operational yet (ie: no camera flying) but will be soon. Then I'll be at the chicken/egg stage as far as business insurance is concerned.
Hey Robert I don't fly commercially. Strictly hobby, at the moment, and I'm member of MAAC, which covers me. Having been in the insurance business before, I would recommend talking to the same broker that's providing you with the business liability coverage. In my mind, it should not be any different than coverage for any type of equipment operation.
each time I test a beta code branch or fly one frame that I just build I call my buddy at Transport Canada and clear out the paperwork to authorize a 5 minute flight in my backyard at less than 50 feets high. :) sure! ;)

Nope, I don't plan to get an SFOC, as I'm a hobbyist, but was just semi-joking with Dany, as his flights could be construed as commercial.

@Dany, technically, it is "there" already.
Ellison: we'll have to chat. I'm getting close to that point myself. I'm curious what you've found for insurance.
Good idea Ellison ...for quads.
Too bad that won't work for my 30lb ArduPlane.
Fly in doors, SFOC not needed in that case.
Yeah but the bird that is planning on landing in your tree won't get your flight plan and could run into your quad.
hahahah! you are funny Ellison!

Man I really hope it doesn't get there ever.
