Luckily, these are difficulties that UAVs are ideally positioned to overcome.The requirement for high quality cameras, craft and licensed experienced pilots means that much of this [...]

Best Drone for a child this Christmas

Best Drone for a child or family member this ChristmasWhat better way to inspire the next generation of drone pilots that to get them one of their very own.  Drones have captured the imaginations of lots of children this year and it’s likely they are going to be mentioned on lots of letters to Santa already.The first thing to say is that we’d recommend that drones, even ‘toy’ ones, are best bought for the over 8’s.  It’s hard to imagine that most younger children would get much out of it and they still do need to be flown responsibly as there are dangers associa [...]

Drone Flights Indoors – CAA Provide Clarification on Recent Changes

By |October 19th, 2018|Categories: General News |Tags: |Comments Off on Drone Flights Indoors – CAA Provide Clarification on Recent Changes

Indoor Drone FlightsThe recent Air Navigation Law Amendment (The Air Navigation Order 2016 as amended) made several very important changes to the drone legislation, not least of which was the introduction of a single weight class for up to 20kg (rather than the previous 0 – 7kg, 7 – 20kg split).  However, there was one amendment with regard to indoor drone flight that seemed to go largely unreported.Prior to the amendment, it was stated by the CAA that the law applied equally to drone flights taking place indoors or outdoors i.e. there was no distinct difference between the [...]

Peter Jones was the Dragon of choice before DSR founder, Mark Boyt, flew into the Den. So when he left having secured investment from the man himself, it was understandably very exciting. What remained unknown initially, however, was the level of personal involvement that Peter would bring to DSR.
