Going to a place where all the sky is yours and there are no UAV rules

[Deleted member 94047]

If you found yourself in such a UAV paradise, what rules would you make for yourself? In other words, what would you consider to be best practice in such an environment?

Somewhere with no rules, may as well be another planet!!
Somewhere with no people to complain, may as well get naked!!!!

I am going to be based here for the next few months but will travel a lot in the rural parts. Only restriction I see is the local airport. Ethiopia does not have a UAV law as of yet. So UAV heaven?

Drones are effectively banned. You need some permit which is impossible to get. I had mine confiscated in Mekele. Luckily got it back when I flew out of Addis.

If you’ve got it in the country already I doubt anyone will care though.

Sorry to hear about your mishap. I have read a few similar accounts of drones getting confiscated from tourists. What they are doing is completely illegal, they have absolutely no legal basis for doing that. I am Ethiopian, so I suppose that will be in my benefit and if they try that with me, I will have all the time to challenge it; a luxury tourists on a tight schedule cannot afford.

If there are propellers rotating at XXXX RPM within 10 feet of me, I'll be wearing at least some clothing.
Otherwise, this could add a whole new meaning to "Take off"

Since we got a little off track...

I would say, a place with pine trees, mountains, canyons, redwoods and sequoias, rivers, lakes, and oceans... All in about ten miles of each other.

What about them? A little blood donation can be healthy for you, I hear

But that reminds me, I got to stock up on mosquito repellent. They are plentiful where I am going.
