    This is an international forum. You would need to say where you are in the world.

    Blarney Castle No Fly Zone

    It's 'craic' not 'crack'. A crack is when your trousers (pants) are too low from the back. We are conservative...no crack here :)

    P3P on an airplane

    Recreational flying in Ireland is not a problem, you will have no problems with bringing it in. You will need a permit from the IAA for commercial or any flights over/in settlement areas.

    Ocean City, NJ Banning Drones

    I wonder why they didn't create a TFR (NOTAM). At least that would be under the FAA. Really glad I'm in the UK. Feel sorry for you US'ers

    Micro lights.

    It depends on the class of airspace he is flying in and if he is in a ATZ. Its up to you to get out of his way fast being a manned aircraft no matter how low he is. I found over coastal areas and mudflats they do fly low. If the airport/club is close where he took off from its a good idea to...

    Sony Camera Use

    Kinda hard to mount a smartphone to phantom and keep it steady. Great quality pics I am sure. Let us know with a few pics if you manage to do it. With the added payload on an Inspire it's possible. I fly with a 24 mp Sony A6000 attached to the belly.

    A few questions

    I use PC Ground Station on a P2 for nearly all my work (Inspire now too with 3rd party beta software), I presume functionality is similar. All my mapping missions start manually by getting the P2 in the air and testing the basic control functions and looking out for any odd flight...
