03.01.23  Happy New Year for 2023 - The Drone world seem to be up in the air, (pardon the pun) like the rest of the world, What is going on?  Can the CAA and the Government sort themselves out? Updates to follow....

13.03.23  Well! What can we say? Weather not good, finding a good place to fly, especially when residing close to an Airport, (West Midlands), again not good - one can only keep maintaining batteries or to updating software for so long.... One can ask the question, " Is it worth doing the qualifications with the high-end prices that are fluctuating within the high end price market today and not forgetting training providers costs also trying to make ends meet?... What about the cost of quality hi-tech drones and constant changes to the legislations requiring hobbyist to conform or be fined and in some cases even being jailed, of course only after they have paid out bucketloads for their purchases to pursue the leisure hobby in the first place.

The answer is yes! It is worth becoming a drone pilot! Especially if you enjoy the hobby and are bullish like me and has conformed, paid out, qualified and have invested in the time and money to follow the pursuit. One can also realise the bigger picture forming here that seems to give an in-your-face, impression of what is really going on here. The picture suggests this is all working towards control. Controlling the population, a continuation from Covid, to control people and their everyday lives and schedules. To gain access to information? Remembering, those holding information are ultimately in a position of power and this can be manipulated.   Who are these narcissistically minded authoritarians?  Those that are wanting power. The globalists! Politicians!, Big tech the left-wing minority of society, in fact anyone that wants wealth and do not want to be accountable in terms of to how they get it or have gotten it. Usually it is via the taxpayer....

The other side of the coin is,  It can also be the CAA finding airspace difficult to slice into sections, as most airspace is globally allocated and this is a limited usable resource.  Having a situation of everyone being happy goes against the grain of any Government or controlling factor that are all set on curbing the use of drones within the UK and even on an International scale. Why are they doing this? Terrorism risks? Possibly! Globalists? Most likely? Certain authorities require the control of the airspace for potential 'global' organisations or profit making industries, such as e.g. Amazon, private sales of commercial human piloted drones or taxis and they need all the airspace that is possibly available - the hobbyist just gets in the way when they start using the airspace real-estate for a hobby, more so, if one is dealing with unqualified pleasure drone flyers. Another reason, how does one make a profit from that? One can reflect on many hobbies that have been controlled e.g. metal detecting, private rifle competition shooting; also springs to mind all have been enjoyable pursuits that have been curbed by the authoritarian. What will be next? The limiting of car ownership? Food for thought.

28.04.23  - Some countries are flying drones at airliner heights as commercial shoots, we even have jetpack pilots flying at the side of commercial airliners, doesn't this make a mockery of the Drone Rules ? As a comparison to weight, and dangers, really! One can smell hypocrisy and it does leave a bitter taste in one's mouth...
