PastorsDayOff Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Fun! But also somewhat disappointing! From your title I was honestly expecting to see someone having attached wings to a Bounty 37! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Maybe it is possible but you would need a lot of propellers to get any lift. It might solve the Potter Heigham Bridge issue however Regards Alan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It would do that, Alan... If its lift failed when overhead the bridge there wouldn't be a problem anymore! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Seriously though - surely that thing is a piloted aircraft. Doesn't it need a licence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 in the UK with him on board it's a piloted needing a Licence, Weight would decide whether is a microlight or full licence. If he were not onboard then he would need a permit for flying a large Model aircraft over 20Kg. If it's over 150Kg then you are back in aircraft rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 They never do seem to pay more than lip service to EU rules though, do they? (Our aviation rules follow European JARs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and I believe the British model flying association have a hand in it too as they have 3 grades of tests of a pilots ability luckily iv all 3 so safe to fly at a public display etc as well as be an examiner, there are some seriously large models about do it no surprise they are basically governed as a microlight as much smaller models have resulted in fatal injury's .

Just fit the drone engines to the bridge- much easier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it’s under 70kgs empty weight, curtesy of the new EU regs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
