You've not been near a quadcopter then? Some of them carry quite a bit
of kit (a HD camera for recording, an SD camera for live streaming,
video transmitter, WiFi Receiver, GPS units, locator beacon, chunky
battery) they can be pretty noisy.


Yes one of them was the star of the show during the Dawlish line

A mate of mine flies choppers I'll ask him over the weekend if you
want?..

I believe within a bit that it is permissible providing it is a safe
location to land, but I'm sure if the CAA are involved it won't be as
simple as that;!..
