Last but not least XD motion needed to convince the Russian Federal Security Service to get a flying licence for Sochi. A lot of questions needed to be answered very accurately and the system was controlled many times. In the end it was worth to run through all the proceedures because the images delivered by the RPA Drone from the Slopestyle competitions were really great and astonishing.
