OK,who has been flying one of these quadrocopters Oop north then?

very naughty if it was a q-copter/piloted,i can see laws being passed/enforced against general use if it was and deliberate,which would be a great shame.

I wouldn`t recommend flying anything other than a kite in a public park TBH bit too risky IMHO.

Glad you have decided to find a better space Neal,keep at it
Interesting read!
I don't think it was a quad - at 4000ft the control boards don't work properly due to barometric pressure (or something) and the low temp drastically reduces output from the cells.
There are a few vids on youtube of quads at 1000ft, but so few it makes it seem like a big deal (if that makes sense)

York Knavesmire is a designated flying site if that helps... It's where I'll be taking mine if it ever gets airborne again.
