What can be done while Corona Virus isolation is on for me?

[Grumpy old man]

whilst in lockdown in New Zealand it was forbidden for any type of recreational aircraft to fly and that was extended to drones and all model aircraft

This was mainly to stop the need for first responders like police ,fire, ambulance to have to interact with anyone unless absolutely necessary

And to stop you the drone flier from needing to go and recover their drone that may possibly crash into another person or have a return to someone else's property as this would mean breaking the rules around lockdown and isolation

This was advised on the civil aviation website during lockdown here and as a notam

Put a skin on your drone...

I used a template i found online and a sheet of reflective tape. This really helps me spot my drone at higher altitudes, all I have to do is spin in place until the sun lights her up!

In the UK you're not allowed to fly a drone in a builtup area and within a certain distance of buildings which means I can't fly the drone from my doorstep as it would be too close to my neighbour's houses.

I can't fly at my house 'cause I'm too close to an airport. Might be fun if the airport was a little more active.
