My UAV needs to be quite big to stabley carry a payload of 1-2Kg. This thing weighs 8-10Kg and can carry another 4-6Kg!

Merseyside Police recently had their surveillance drone grounded by the CAA when they failed to apply for a licence after recent law changes regarding UAVs. Good to see they are aware of the law that they are enforcing!

Anyway these rules have been extended. Previously UAVs of less than 7Kg were not covered but now they require permission to fly within 50m of people and 150m of buildings. This may well apply to the UAV that I am planning to build.
