Its all finished ( has been for over 3 weeks but testing needed to be done. )

Layout changed as it was suggested a 2x3x5 panel setup would yield better results . I’ve also managed to get the data running into my home assistant setup as well as an app on my mobile and its looking great considering its Autumn / winter. its expected to save a third on my quarterly electric bill and will be much much more saved in the better months.

Scaffolding now in place and ready for panels to be installed shortly. 4 at the front 2 at the side and 4 at the back. that’s gonna save a few £££.

I will update with more photo’s once its installed and operational.

The new drone laws were announced yesterday by the CAA UK.

These will come into force from the start of next year and will allow me less restricted access to areas using my larger drones rather than just using my mini drones.

As i have A2 COFC certification and can also fly under article 16 already , This will give me even more access also than hobbyist operators.

After being given the wife’s blessing , ive ordered the Flagship drone from DJI .

The Mavic 4 pro.

As i now have my A2COFC certificate and can also fly under article 16 , this reduces the restrictions on where i can fly , so residential , industrial and recreational areas are available under certain conditions.

This will be my 6th drone so i need to stop ordering for a while as there wont be enough hours in the day

to fly them lol.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro Drone 512GB Creator Combo with RC Pro 2 – DJI Hasselblad

Ive changed my provider to Zen internet.

Although BT have been great , i can get much faster speeds with Zen and the router provided is future proofed for the next 3 years at least.

Heres a screenshot of my speeds…

Just had my property surveyed for solar panels. hopefully i should get a call regarding install within the next 6 weeks. That’ll help with fuel costs 🙂

A true fully fledged FPV drone on the DJI o4 system allowing me to use my own headset and controller.

Happy to say my car passed it’s mot with no advisories again today !.

also , had a service and air conditioning regass and now it’s as cold as ice again.

Im upgrading my drone controller to cover any later drones and also to get the extra features for the drones i have.

This one comes with a 7 inch rotational display , so much better clarity , a scrollwheel to make accessing the menu easier. much stronger powered antennas for further range as well as doubling up as a fully working android tablet.

should be with me tomorrow 🙂

Due to upgrading the computer , i decided to upgrade the whole setup entirely.

So i got a sit/stand desk and new chair with lumbar support to help with my back .
