Is is only me that finds the thought of all these drones* & goodness knows what else whizzing around over my head a tad worrying? :shock: :think: :whistle:

Our airspace is crowded enough as it is.

My Sister, who lives in Fulham, London, told me yesterday, during our conversation regarding them, (Drones), that there are very strict rules regarding their use over the City of London!

I can foresee that there are going to be problems with their use in public, private, and restricted places!

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
