    Is anyone flying RC Octocopters in Sydney with a reasonable camera in it. Could we fly one of these puppies over suburban streets without being arrested? Any contacts would be appreciated?

    Tom give me a call on 0424754282, got a system in byron and one in brisbane which we can easily get down to sydney, available with either Epic/ Scarlet or a 5/7D.

    there are a few things to be considered beforehand though.

    Without a PPL and OC from CASA you cannot fliy unmanned aerial vehicles for anything other than sport or education.

    Just saying ;)

    That said, even under the 'model aircraft' rules you can't fly them in populated areas.

    Cali,

    I seem to be getting conflicting advice. When the dust settles and we do lock this down I will report back.
