Guys,

most will be aware of imminent changes to the drone regulations coming into effect 31st December and that the Mini 2 beacuse of its low weight can be flown within reason anywhere in the UK (over towns/cities/docks etc.)

So legally for example could you now fly right over a ship berthed on an oil terminal or perhaps a non-nuclear power station (assuming you do not exceed 500m VLOS)?

I suppose the primary concerns now will not be so much safery but shifted towards privacy/security.

Don't forget from the 1st Jan you need to register and label the drone.

Is it also necessary to label the RC?

You get a Operator ID and Drone ID when you do the exam and registration.    The drone have to be labeled in such a way that you dont need tools to access the label,  I have mine under the battery.

I see no need to label the RC. If I am out flying whatever drone/quadcopter I have with me, I have a laminated notice attached to my carry case showing both Operator and Flyer ID details. If I don't have the case with me, then I have all details on my Mobile Device to show to whosoever is entitled to see them, not just any nosey parker! (But, the AC is appropriately labelled as required.)
