Скачать или смотреть Quick Vlog: I grill local politicians over drone rules

In today's quick RC and drone blog I talk about multirotors big enough to carry people, an el-cheapo drone from North Korea, New Zealand CAA's survey and I ask some very hard questions of our local town council -- namely, why are our kids the only kids in the entire country who must have a CAA-recognised certification before they can fly their toys in the local parks?

Here are the three things that need to be changed about New Zealand's drone/model regulations:

1. permission should not be required to fly over unoccupied property.

2. there should be a 250g lower cut-off weight limit for the regulations

3. An observer should only be required for FPV flying when it is essential to preserve safety and this decision should be at the pilot's discretion. Example: flying a miniquad under the tree canopy on private property should not require an observer.
