Posted by Glenn Ryan on 02/11/2015 09:31:17: Hmmm not happy I tell you. It's now November and still no sign of my Special Edition here in Australia. Is anyone else having this problem down here. Is there someone I can speak to about the whereabouts of it. Glenn, I received my copy in Tasmania yesterday(9/11)., and the Nov issue today. Steve.

April Issue arrived today. I hope this means delivery Problems are Sorted. Thanks Steve

Crikey you guys have the April issue. Here in Australia I only got the March issue a few days ago. Since last years Special issue they arrive here later and later. We were getting them in the last half of the month before the cover date, now they are arriving a few days before the shops get them. They used to be about 2 issues behind a Sub. It's getting to the point where we might as well get the issues with items of interest in them from the shop and not bother with the others.

I have no experience of FPV but the possibility does interest me. Our lawmakers are continually tasked with finding ways to protect the masses from potential idiots. So we have many laws that cause inconvenience to sensible people.The FPV usage is new and has the possibility to be dangerous if the video early in this forum is anything to go by. Our administrative bodies are bound to try to find a means to protect us all from anything that may be used against us to prevent model flying, so must be seen to be acting in a safe manner. The CAA wants to prevent incidents with full size aircraft. The rules won't prevent  people from misuse of fpv models but give authorities the means to punish. Laws do get changed when experience and public pressure goes against them. e.g. we don't see many people preceding motor vehicles with red flags these days.
