You may vote for one, all, some or none of the entries, however please DO NOT vote for your own video as you will be disqualified.

As always, have Fun! Be Safe!

All flights are the sole responsibility of the individual conducting them. Each competitor must abide by the drone code and adhere to the limitations and restrictions imposed upon them by aviation law, the aircraft being used and the qualifications they hold. Landowners’ wishes and permissions must be respected. If a flight is undertaken in a restricted zone proof of permission having been granted is required.

The die is cast, with a 77% majority the May Video of the Month competition will be on the subject of Rails…

This topic will be edited for entries shortly.

All entries need to be filmed during the Flying window between the 1st and 31st of May and submitted before the 7th of June, when the Editing window closes.
