I swear...I wish my College Professors were as good as you when it comes to presenting info. Thank you for your hard work, Sean.

Absolutely love this! Thank you so much for condensing the rules into an easy-to-understand format!
@tonyo6672 2 years ago

Great channel! Information that cuts out all the good from the bad, and leaves you understanding whats going on completely! What with drone news being a hot topic of many lovers and those opposed to drone flying, this helps the real drone community, that just wish to use the fantastic technology for good safe work or hobby related time! Being a member of a recognized club/organisation myself, believe this is the best way to maintain some kind of acceptance with the drone use we love, and wish to be able to carry on using in the years to come! Again, like your content and approach to this YouTube channel...

It’s crazy that when you start searching on Google if you are allowed to fly a drone, you get answers like “not allowed in national trust, not allowed in this area and that area etc, it literally destroys everything about having a drone.

Nice and concise, perfect ! Saved for reference even though I knew all that its handy to show someone who questions me when flying.

This is such a great video to get started. I bought 4 DJi Phantoms off eBay… I won’t even power them up until I have completed all,of the regs and training. I’m quite excited about it but want to make sure I’m compliant. Strangely now I am work8mg as a technical trainer for ATSEP personnel so funny how things come together.

Another great video, Sean. So much info and no timewasting. Will you release revisions and/or updates as rules change? Do you know whether "planning to make money" includes uploading to, say, YouTube? Does the answer depend upon whether one's channel is monetised?
