Luckily here in Canada we do have Government regulation to allow legal flying of UAV

You guys you have the privilege that you can complain. Most of the newer multi blades come with 5.85GHz for FPV, which is absolutely forbidden in my country. I was fined hundreds of $s just for importing 3 GoPro cameras in one shipment (instead of 1 at a time). I had to get a license ahead of time to import 3 GoPros. The fine did not include exuberant storage fees!
I will not even try to license 5.85GHz because it is an illegal wireless frequency here.

@ wideweb what was their reason behind importing 3 cameras in one shipment??
wideweb 13 Nov 2014 15:27
1 or 2 are for personal use. 3 are considered commercial quantity, and therefore I had to get license for the frequencies of the GoPro and for the chargers.

@wideweb which country is that?
wideweb 13 Nov 2014 16:28
Israel.

Wow, that's fairly draconian if you ask me. But hey, I'm sure they have their reasons, even if they likely don't make sense. Of course an agile photographer could make more commercial use from a single GoPro than someone with three but then what's that got to do with anything.

Well it is widely known that GoPro cameras have miniature nuclear reactors to keep them going. The catch is that if you use two together you get 3D non-destructive power but when combining all three you will get access to another dimension that if not controlled will result in Armageddon before it's time. You should have known that ;)

He uses all three to take selfies from three different angles at the same time.

I use 6 GoPros to make video panoramas.


Anyway, I bought my own quadcopter, but it does not take off.
What's wrong?
