Just seen a YouTube video on Ruko drone doing over 10000mtr :distorted_face: distance no loss of signal before the new law where you need to be able to see the drone at all times :sob::skull_and_crossbones:

You often see youtube vids like this - some are fake some are from countries where VLOS is not a thing.

So maybe it was all good and correct - it just depends on the place it happened in.

Being able to see your aircraft at all times isn’t a new law. It’s called VLOS. It’s how we were flying before anyway, in the Open category - without having to spend lots of money on qualifications, etc… .

Theoretically, any DJI model with O3/O4 transmission will have a range of 10km from the controller in perfect conditions, which is way more than the 10000 feet (about 2 miles or 3km) in the video. He’s still a long way out of VLOS though. If it isn’t a fake, I hope the CAA are following his channel :joy:

Having watch this dribble he is but a numpty and looking at the comments too he is very much a numpty - its quite sad seeing people like this sharing content like this.

Oh well - hopefully my :-1: on his channel will help his algorithms haha - maybe not but I did feel for a few seconds at least to have the power haha

Clearly not impressed much by the CAA or their Drone Code VLOS reqirement, is he? The drone looks like a DJI Mini, with tracking ability, but I’m a bit suspicious of Roku’s website description, which does not tell you the weight, so there is no way of guessing it’s UK classification or what registration/qualification is needed to fly it. I notice he was well away from people & buildings; 10,000’ at one point! I have trouble picking out my Mini 4K at less than a 20th of that range…

From Google below & further bits in the link

Ruko F11PRO 2 does not appear to have a European Union (EU) drone “C” class label (such as CO, C1, C2) mentioned in its specifications.

  • Weight: The drone weighs approximately 357g
    (12.6 oz).
  • Compliance: It is advertised as having a built-in FAA Remote ID Module for compliance in the United States, but no mention is made of EASA (EU) compliance labels.
  • Origin: Ruko is a brand based in Shenzhen, China.
  • Features: The drone is designed for the US market, featuring 6K photos, a 3-axis gimbal, and a 10,000ft transmission range.

Because the drone weighs over 250g (357g) and does not have a C-label, it would typically fall under the “Open Category” A3 (far from people) in the EU, or A2 with special training, rather than the more flexible A1/C1 category

I like the look of it :+1:
