Below is a great map to help illustrate UK no fly zones.
I had been looking for a simple UK airspace map when I stumbled across this. Please visit the site its shared from: http://noflydrones.co.uk
Disclaimer: Please note I don't know how accurate this map is!
Also on their website, the CAA have published this document explaining the model flying rules for the UK, along with some common sense advice and tips. CAA Safe Model Flying Guide

Which is the fastest, the Bixler, AXN or Skipper?
OK, I did get out and try the AXN floater over this weekend. It seems a great plane and it is very easy to fly. At the same time I thought it would be good to attach the Quanum GPS data logger and compare its top speed to some other RC models.
These models were:
The wind had been great all week but the hour before I was going out it decided to change....Just my luck. Anyway watch the video below to find out which one was the fastest!
I'm not sure how accurate the data logger is, but it still gave me some idea of the maximum speeds.

Past, Present and Future..
Unfortunately I've not added much to the website since Christmas. Partly because I had lost interest, got bad RSI in my hand, spent a lot of time mucking around with CCTV kit, and partly because its been winter and the weather has been poor. But this week is really starting to feel like summer is on its way. So I'm hoping to get out soon and have a proper flight with the AXN floater, which I now built back in December. Anyway, the video below you may of probably seen before, but when I first saw this I was amazed, someone had actually achieved getting an RC plane to this height and took some video.
These other videos show some amazing use of RC technology and where it might go in the future!
The Solara 50 has 5 Years flight time. Possible use internet connectivity to remote locations.
This Technology is been trialled by Amazon for delivery, but this little drone would actually be great for medical/organ delivery or even emergency relief delivery? Theirs just so many good uses...
And yep you may never know whats next, this one is a bit well .....? Inventive.
Finally - possibly the first RC helicopter...
