For obvious National security reasons, flying a kite or worse, flying a multicopter is strictly forbidden next to the monuments or in the city. Trying to get authorizations for KAP is almost impossible and will involve a minimum of 3 or 4 administrations, the police and the army….the only option left was to fly in the desert 1 800 meters from the closest pyramid. We found horses to rent and a guide and in no time we were flying the R8 in the desert. The NE wind was great but the smog and pollution did not really help….
We’ll be back !
