Encountered some low cloud this morning while above the Scottish off-road driving centre

Now THAT is cool. Could fool some to thinking it was a real airplane. Very nice. Thanks.

That's very good .I often see amazing cloud fronts come through but the are normally accompanied by squalls .Even if it's calm before the storm I'm worried I'll get caught .

Very beautiful video, nicely done!

Thanks guys. Yeah we are restricted to 1000ft AGL here in UK if we have a spotter. This was approx 900ft altitude.

I wanted to ask about that, but I didn't want to sound like the Altitude Nazi.

The FPV with spotter exemption is still valid yes. Providing you keep a spotter with you at all times and they keep direct and unaided LOS with the craft at all times then you're legal.

Bearing in mind location relevant to local airports etc.

This is from the link... 12 months from March 2014?

Following 18 months of incident free operation with the current exemption, and a year with a previous issue limited to FPV UK members, the FPV General Exemption for FPV flying will be extended for another 12 months when it comes up for renewal in March 2014.
