However the height of a 1/4 vertical would be such that it may fall under the regulations of the CAA (UK) and the FAA (US) depending on the location. Under 60m (~200') does not require any permission in the UK. Jeff But do you want a radio controlled gadget with 4 electric motors at the top end of your vertical? Ok you could put a length of isolating rope between it, but still... Anyway, all drone flying is now strictly regulated here (Netherlands). I'm not sure what exactly is allowed and what isn't, but for camera flying for example you need a permit for the specific case that requires at least 6 weeks to process. (to the dismay of firefighters who wanted to use camera drones to examine burning objects and were unable to get a "generic" permit for such usage) |
