Thank you Fred...that has set me thinking about an additional clause in my terms that all clients sign up to.

Guys How do you manage payment for work done....do you insist on payment before handing over images, after the client has seen them, are you happy submitting an invoice hoping not to have to chase payment later...does it depend on the client?....all thoughts appreciated.

So, any PfCO holders planning on an early C of C submission....and if so what are your reasons ? I am feeling that there is more information to come which will enable a knowledge based decision on when to proceed.

@aerialimagery, I thought the option of a small and packable drone would give me more flexibility.

Guys My P3P has been the workhorse since I set up commercially 12 months ago and I consider the quality of the images to be extremely good. I had one occasion where I arrived at the workplace and was unable to fly due to an ESC error which was completely unexpected. I completed the work a few...

Has anybody submitted a request to fly in populated areas in the UK? How lengthy was the process...was permission granted? What were the fees involved?

Lovin' those eyes!

No Hawks but plenty of gulls round here...I try and keep well away and once read that the best evasive action was to fly vertically upwards if threatened...they can't do that!
