Hi All,
Ive always wanted a drone but could never stomach the price tags. I’m in a position to now purchase one and after much binge’in on YouTube I’ve concluded I would like the MA2.
Now I was very close to hitting the purchase button but then came across some rules and regulations videos on YouTube which put a damper on the purchase.
The information out there is quite overwhelming for a newbie. I have registered with CAA and obtained both operator and flyer ID and that’s as far as it goes.
Having read through many posts on here I’m still unsure where I would fit in with a MA2 come the new rules. I don’t have any expectations to be flying for money and simply want it for a hobby.
I live in a built area street after street and feel like I’m already restricted. Can someone please give me a dummies guide or point me in the right direction of all these categories I’m absolutely baffled. I don’t want to purchase something that I will not be able to use in a couple years or even straight after new rules are implemented.
Out of curiosity how would someone be caught flying in a built area? How is this even monitored? I have no intention of doing daft things but it’s quite unfair your limited where you can fly providing your not reckless.
Thanks in advance
