A 30 minute flight from the banks of Loch Leven up to 4000 feet over the mountains. A good view of Ben Nevis to the North. Engine lacking power (maybe 1000rpm or so) - didn't get any worse, but didn't fill me with confidence to go further into hills - so kept within glide distance of the take off field - will need to take head off and see what the problem is maybe.

Nice 40-50 minute coastal flight, but wind was getting up so landed, but wasn't quick enough disabling wing on landing and pulled me sideways and got caught on the tennis court fence. pffft. no damage done - there's been plenty worse there - folk flying into side of hotel, etc - so compared to that, this one was one of the better landings!

Got sick of finding that my flight footage had too much ground or too much sky. Laser is mounted into epoxy putty. Aimed at centre of video. Accurate from 10 feet out. When helmet mounted all I need to do is press laser button and move gopro till laser is in middle of where I want to shoot. If in the air obviously won't see laser on ground, but can see it with hand in front of face and make adjustment for parallax error.

The second flight from Spain last year. Amazing clouds, amazing scenery, amazing Volcano. Not so amazing Spanish fuel - didn't use a filter filling tank and some dirt made it into carb restricting power. Easy fix, but caused me to have to land out.

Firstly I have had (US based?) based fliers moan this is illegal. It is not. Perhaps you don't realise that the UK has it's own laws ? news: we are actually a different country - get over it.
Perhaps it is not allowed in your country. However, it is a perfectly legal flight under UK ANO. And as it was in the UK, those are the laws that matter.
Model is 1.2kg (under 7kg).
-more than 130m from built up area (though video looks towards it it is horizontally 200m from built up area)
-more than 30m from person on ground at take off and landing
-flown with line of sight (not FPV) - the video is from gopro with gpx trace added later (obviously - it is HD FFS)
-good weather conditions, no other air traffic
- precautions taken (tested safe mode to cut power and to fly home if tx lost - both also manually trigger able)
-3rd party liability insurance.
