Should be straight forward to fly, they are very stable and probably too easy to fly.

Please read up on the CAA laws around these, especially when a camera is mounted. If you do a thread search within the UAV section there is a veeerrryyy long thread that covers off the ANO and CAA regs etc

Blimey that was an interesting read, I had no idea they were as restricted as that! Can't see the point in buying one if I can't use it to film the neighbours wife with her tits out?

Never mind 4props, I'm sure you'll find something else to use it for

4props and MartynGT4 - just a heads up. . . You may find that there are some trolls on this site, amongst the genuine, dedicated, passionate people who form the greater part of the population.
Rather than try to tell you where you can/can't fly (and thus becoming entwined in a pointless position of defending or debating the relevant laws), how difficult or easy it is to learn to fly multi rotors, how they differ from helicopters (which this site is more or less dedicated to, as opposed to the many multirotor forums on the internet that a quick google search will find) perhaps I can suggest that you start to answer your rather general queries by investigating the subject through google and the world of information that it unfurls and then pose more specific questions as and when they arise.
Hope that helps.

I don't think 4Props is a troll.

I was merely injecting a little humor!

[PorscheBoy]

and Matt, I am certainly not a troll, if that is what you were implying, just offering what I thought was sage advice!!!!

All joking aside, I thought it was very good advice.. and advice is no doubt what 4prop came here for in the first place even if his initial post was a bit wide in scope. I just think he was trying to start a discussion, what a shame it was closed off a suggestion to 'go elsewhere'. Doesn't make this community look very friendly does it?
