I wasn't aware of the legal situation on the US. Here you need a flight permit (like if it were an aircraft) and insurance to cover any damages caused by potential malfunctioning of the drone. I'm not aware of anyone who successfully went through the process. One guy posted on his blog that he was trying to obtain insurance, but he couldn't - the brokers didn't knew how to evaluate the risk. To get a flight permit is even more complicated, you need to register your "flying machine" at the Aeronautical Civil Authority first. They can't register just anything that flies, they have a lot of safety regulations, but hey, those were made for actual aircraft, not toys. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
