Drones make great toys and can launch you on an exciting new hobby. Sooner or later you'll start thinking to yourself "I could make some money out of this." Inspire-against-sky-e1450778676534.jpg There are countless ways that multi-rotors can be used and new ways are emerging all the time. We've come up with 10 ways you can get paid for flying a drone from a DJI Phantom 3 to a big rig like the DJI S1000+ octocopter or even a Freefly ALTA hexacopter but we're sure you'll think of others.

Heliguy trains drone pilots to this standard and is a National Qualified Entity. We offer ground school training, a theory exam and a practical flight test to help you on your way to a PFAW. p3pro4-e1450778156197.jpg
