[QUOTE="Lancelot, post: 8874, member: 1629"] The regulations are often non-sense, true. I think in general, the government are approaching this from "let us just cut it all out for now, and we'll see later how this goes" Coming from not knowing what they are dealing with. From all the rules I have come across, I think mostly still around the fact that you cannot use it around certain areas (near airports, mass crowd, etc) and some ban in cities, along with height maximum of around 100m, and that you have to maintain line of sight. Nothing beats the belgian.. They will only allow you to fly 10m high and that is it. You can be 100 miles outside nearest airport, nope, 10m it is. You have to get all sorts of license with actual training and health check to get it to 45m. This already will cost around 750€. You want higher? Be ready to actually train and do exam like pilot haha. And this will cost around 2500€. The rules in NL is annoying but compared to belgium, I think we got lucky. Back to the topic re. NYC. If you only use it to hover near, I wouldnt worry too much, I mean, with the spark being so small, you probably could go away with "oh this is a toy" excuse. But dont pin me on that. After all use at your own risk. Maybe a good thing to get some sort of insurance just in case. [/QUOTE]
