SCROLLERS!
Just for you: • Ken at his REAL job - Zábava
Because as we all know, terrorists buy drones and register them! *facepalm*
elsmeghead yeah wtf. Government is sooooooo intelligent
Not really the point though. If by some chance a drone falls on the white house lawn and it is registered then the chance it belongs to a normal US citizen who mistakenly lost it there are good, but with no registration visible then there is a good chance there may be something to watch out for.
@@ChrisMonopoli ^^^ What he said ^^^ It does not rule-out any drone as a potential terrorist device. It does however provide the law enforcement personnel with a way of contacting legitimate folks and would potentially allow the incident to de-escalate much more quickly.
Also it's for accountability. If you do something dumb with your drone, and the authorities get ahold of it, they have evidence to fine you, or worse. This is a good thing, as it deters stupid people from buying these things and hurting someone.
@@JasonEllingsworth i don't think it will deter any idiot you can still technically buy a drone without registering it and there's nothing stopping them from flying around except someone who has the balls to report it and the only thing law enforcement can do about it is notify the FBI from my understanding
LAST RULE, but not the least.
- These Conditions and RULES applies on law abiding citizens only.
Mannix C 🤣🤣🤣
so if i dont abide by law im free to go? tome to be a felon
uhm... that's a bad idea... because what it means is UN citizens, ¡llegå1 a1¡ens, and visitors alike can do what ever they please. If anything... they should have stricter guidelines over foreigeners™ than those whom presently live here. Prevents government terrorism (and have no disillusion - governments propogate and perpetuates the mere concept of terrorism and then purchases licenses (ever hear rhe term 'exporting terrorism' ... it's really a thing)
I think a lot of these rules are being put in place to prepare the way for the use of drones for delivery services (Amazon, UPS, Federal Express, etc.). The government will continue to add regulations to drive out recreational fliers from much of the airspace to provide unfettered access for business use.
That's exactly why they are doing it and just wait until a Amazon drone smashes a hole in someone's house...
@@BassManStrikes An amazon drone will kill someone at some point.
@@simonandrewsphotography8157 Yes and or it will be a matter of time before one crashes into a house or a car etc. It's likely they and other big companies are behind the FUD so they can have the under 400 foot airspace to themselves....
Drone delivery is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. The problems and complications are endless.
Nope, that will fall under a modification of Part 135. Drone Professor/Attorney.
What the hell? I just wanted a drone to play around with, not to go spying around area 51 with. Too many regulations already.
Consider yourself lucky, where i live in singapore, 75% of the island is a no fly zone and the remainer has a altitude limit of 200ft.
Only "GOVERNMENT" can create victim less crimes for a hobby that is decades old!
That's right, I've been flying RC since the 70's and control line and free flight from the late 50's when my Uncle taught me how to build and fly model airplanes.
@unrepeatable raddish We don't fly RC planes thousands of feet! So I guess if you throw a go-pro on a little RC plane does that classify it as a drone? If you were the government that is!
I would think that an RC plane with an HD camera on it isn't a drone. To classify as a drone, it should have the capability of autonomous flight like most DJI products not a $59.99 quadcopter from Walmart. That is also where the general public is very misinformed because if that $59.99 quad from Walmart is a drone than that would make any RC plane or heli a drone camera or not.
Gonna have to register R/C cars next! They could get into traffic and cause havoc!
DMV is coming for back registration in 3-5 years
the 666 barcode is here i see it now
People driving R/C cars on major roads with traffic is not really a problem. People flying drones over airports, emergency operations, etc, have been major problems. All of London airspace had to be shutdown multiple times because of a drone on the approach to Heathrow. My state had multiple major forest fires last year and people flying drones near them forced tanker planes and helicopters to land. Literally putting lives and property at risk. Rules and regulations like this are usually a response to people being stupid. Like Ken says, don't be a dumb-dumb. And if we as an entire group can stick to these rules, they very likely won't add many more beyond clarification or definitional rules. If we push limits and do stupid stuff, the rules will be much more onerous.
"Don't call the tower!" That's what they told us we had to do last year.
They got tired of all of the calls lol.
@@SuperSilvi1990 When they told us, "call the tower," I thought, "wow, that would be annoying to have to answer all those calls!"
@@SuperSilvi1990 Got planes to land!
I just said the same thing...its getting very stupid now. Birds fly higher then wat i fly. I fly my kite higher then my drone. Now i would have to register my kite.
Don't fly in a control towers airspace if you can't maintain radio contact with the tower. It's real simple I don't get why this is causing you consternation.
Having a minimum age to fly rc airplanes is ridiculous. The hobby has been around for decades with no problems.
To add insult to injury you only need to be 14 to solo in a glider.
So every kid that has a racing drone is breaking the law? Im fairly certain they are over .55lbs...
We should go back to control-line model airplanes. They are a blast!
till stupid people like stacy neesack started flying round n.y. over people on a skateboard and over people and boats
Thank you for the update and links. Bird, Bird, Bird is the word. Love it
Love this channel and Ken Heron too. The best drone channel on you tube!
so true good entertainment in these no contact times too
Unfortunatey, we are quickly heading towards loss of our rc hobbies! Soon it will become illegal to fly a paper airplane! At some point, we will have to go out, protest and fight for our rights! Freedom has to be fought for!
If he wasn't flying in manned airspace (this is something we don't know) then he is a "problem" how????
I always takes a couple idiots to ruin things for the rest of us!
one word for you. Migrate.
Paper planes made will need to be registered and given a serial number 😄
No kidding
Thnx for the update. Jeff thnx for all you put up with from Ken.
Clear clarification of the rules with a fun element. Thanks Ken.
Would also be interested to see a video on your computer setup.
Thank you sir.
16 years old really... Quite funny, my 13 year old, because he passed at boating test can captain my 52' yacht all by himself. I am sure he can do a lot more damage with 90,000 lbs displacement yacht, than a 1 lbs drone could do. He can handle it solo from leaving the dock, navigation and docking the boat back in the slip. Things that make you go hum... Lawmakers...
I only let my 10 year old nephew pilot my small yacht. When he gets a bit older he can try some of my other yachts.
I have 6 gold plated 52' yachts...
Are you impressed?
52 feet is too small to be called a yacht. My yachts dingy is 58’.
@@KenHeron u should have been in comedy ken u r funny
Thanks Ken, You are always good for a chuckle
You definitely have the best drone vids out of all Ken. Love our community and enjoy all of these videos you guys do. Been very helpful and informative since before getting certified in 2017 and still to this day. Thanks for all that you do in the community and the great videos !
Thanks Johnny!!
I live 4.5 miles from a Podunk airport with controlled airspace. I'll be damned if anyone is going to tell me I can't fly my toy in my backyard at treetop level. No manned aircraft is going to be at my altitude unless it's crashing. #outlaw
Yeah, I'm 4.8 miles from an airbase, I'll fly I'm my yard too,up to 400' no maned aircraft will ever be flying that low , these rules are a bit rediculous
@@cliffbraun3850 like most government regulations i understand the reasoning. People are idiots. Without them people will fly next door to the airport @ 600 feet. But, like my dad used to say you can't legislate common sense. That doesn't keep them from trying though.
@@juggalizzle75 You also can't legislate tyranny either. The reality is the government wants to regulate everything, because that justifies bureaucracy, government employees and their tax payer salaries. It has zero to do with safety, security but simply the fact the government can do it, is not being challenged and creating "security theatre" the illusion of safety to perpetuate the illusion that we the US citizen _need_ them.
@@AgentExeider ...You also just explained the entire existence of the TSA.
I don't know why did I laughed so much at this comment but it's genuinely funny lol
My son is 10 been flying for 1 1/2 year's . Better than me and most. Don't like rules.
I guess the only thing your son can do for now is to fly smaller drones that don't need to be registered
I believe that rule only applies to part 107 pilots not hobbyists.
Thanks for the clarity on the new drone laws. And I love the "Bird" song.
Just had these briefly mentioned during our AMA monthly meeting....New Waverly Barnstormers, Texas.
Hi Ken, I'd like to quickly correct you:
After contacting the FAA, I was told that anyone under 16 may fly as long as there is an adult with certification present and near the controls, like when driving a car (there is an adult alongside you to take control in the event of emergency)
I also agree with you about how the FAA discourages young pilots (such as myself at 14) from flying drones.
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure we covered that though.
Yes, I don't want any young drone hopefuls to be discouraged.
You guys are our future drone-taxi drivers!
@@KenHeron Hi Ken, it says you have to be 16 to take the recurrent knowledge test, but to take the test you only have to be 14 years old. Does this mean you have to be 14 to take the test at first and then you have to take it again every 2 years? So to take it again you have to be 16? Does this actually mean the minimum age is 14 not 16? From www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/acs/media/uas_acs.pdf:
"Knowledge Test Requirements
To verify your eligibility to take the certification knowledge test, you must meet the following in accordance with the requirements of 14 CFR part 107, section 107.67.
An applicant to take the certification knowledge test must be at least 14 years of age."
"To verify your eligibility to take the recurrent knowledge test, you must meet the requirements listed below, and the requirements of 14 CFR part 107, section 107.67.
A person who is to take the recurrent knowledge test must be at least 16 years of age."
@@brianlannon4212 you can't fly any drone over .55 pounds that is not registered with the faa. Anyone 13 or older can register and fly a drone over .55 pounds. You can't fly your drone commercially until you take the 107 test, and you need to be 16 to do this.
So basically that means anyone under 13 is flying light drones, or other rc under .55 pounds. I imagine most young pilots will mess around with the toy ones at Wal-Mart/target, or get in to fpv drone racing where the drone is also under .55 pounds, and therefore not regulated
Appreciate the video but a large portion of us just aren't going to follow these prescribed rules. I think so long as one uses common sense then you should be able to fly any quad, RC, drone that you want. The ones that get in trouble are the ones that are simply idjits.
Long time, no see...! Thanks for the info...!
Thanks Ken & Jeff.
I've been flying RC for over 35 Years.. Never ,,, Never,, hurt anyone,,, Lets see the Faa beat that safety record !!!
Just imagine if guns had half as many regulations. How many people die everyday from guns and how many have died ever from a drone.
Uptin Sinclaire drone turret
It's all fake drummed up hysteria to generate more regulations and revenue for the government. If they're were actually worried about safety they'd have the same level of security at schools as they do at airports.
@@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel There are over 20,000 gun laws on the books in the US. Do you really want 20,000 on drones?
unrepeatable raddish are you high? People have put cameras with video down links on rc planes long before FPV was commonplace. Further, rc airplanes have always been able to fly high and far enough to interfere with manned aircraft, but the fact is that most people don’t want to interfere. A semi autonomous rc plane made a nonstop transatlantic flight 17 years ago. The rules don’t stop those who want to do harm, but create a burden for the innocent.
I just turned 16 a couple weeks ago and got my part 107 today, but I had my recreational license when I was 15. Thank goodness I came before this rule!
Congrats my young friend!
You're going about this whole drone-thing the right way.
This is great. Thank You Guys
You can use LAANCE as a hobbyist, I use it all the time to get authorization. Skyward offers LAANCE authorization. Been using it since it rolled out almost a year ago in my area.
most of us recreation guys wouldn't even think to look about these rules. most of the causal people wouldn't even think to look the rules up
It's a good idea to be informed.
True but in my experiences with the FAA, they will not likely do more than give you an uncomfortable talking to if you screw up, providing you didn't destroy property or injure someone.
Looks like I'm just going to continue to do what I've always done when any kind of government at all told me there's rules concerning things. I use my Common Sense, on whether or not I fucking follow these 'rules'. Sounds like these 'rules' I'm going to continue (business as usual) to be paying absolutely no mind to.
Whatever happened to the government not owning land? And seeing as our government, stated in & by the Constitution, isn't supposed to own land (which is unarguably true that the government does own land), what makes the government think they can now own air?
Love your channel, Ken. Thanks for the information.
Great content - keep it up!
I can't wait to see the fireworks being launched this July 4th with FAA registration numbers on them in class G airspace. It's common sense that a fireball flying mach 3 won't damage an aircraft?!
Thanks. Love the show. Very informative .... well, most of the time anyway. Nice hair ! 😂🤣😆
Great info thanks Ken!
Dang Ken! You do like to have some Fun!
And thanks for that. It makes your content enjoyable to watch.
May I just suggest bringing the drone users comment period into a video, so as to engage hobbyists to participate and contact the FAA with comments and suggestions pertaining to the proposed new rules? Now, I have little faith that they listen to the people, but if we don’t shout them down we won’t have any voice at all.
Thanks guys! Keep doing what you’re doing!
"Hi...I'm from the FAA...and I'm here to help you."
LOL!!!
well everyone is not going to renew there cert.u will be loosing apx 10mil $ so no more funds for the faa
What about if I made home video from a drone with my kids and placed in CZcams....Is it prohibited?

Projected registered to more than double? After hearing about Canada's recent updates, I'm feeling like it might stagnate.
Hi Jason, I'm a Canadian drone flyer and very knowledgeable about the new Canadian regulations. There is certainly a lot of debate about the new rules, particularly how ridiculous the exams are, but the new rules are far better than the 'interim' rules we had before...75m away from squirrels etc. The problem I have is that Transport Canada is being heavily influenced by flight schools and existing commercial drone flyers, both of whom have a vested interest in the rules being complicated. Flight schools can sell expensive classes, and commercial flyers can stave off cheap competitors. I have pissed a lot of them off by providing free training videos and study guides, making the regulations easy to understand, and the exams...well...passable.
good info guys, thank you
Omgoodness I absolutely loved and enjoyed this video. This has got to be my BEST one so far. Very informative and also hilarious. Love it. Keep those good videos coming Sir. And until then BUH & BYE. 😂. Funny ass heck...... love everything you do Sir.

I just googled sextional charts and ended up in a very weird part of the internet, now I have to burn my harddrive
Haaaaa!!!
😂😂😂
Can we lobby to add a class for under 100 ft. I will use my drone just to take family pictures. I want to be able to do this where ever I can use a cam for shots at.
@unrepeatable raddish I understand it falls under a class G (Under 400 feet) it's just that the more I read into where you can't fly the more I noticed that I could barely take my drone out for low altitude family video and photography. I suggest a new class would allow for the use of a drone for family video or photography in restricted spaces like state parks at low altitude. The more I think about it; it's not really a FAA issue but I wish there were exceptions for video and photography.
@@LoneGRoEnt State parks are restricted for reasons that do not have anything to do with low altitude. In fact, if it was going to be allowed in state parks, it would only be ABOVE a certain height. The major reason they're banned in state parks is because those parks are wilderness, which means wildlife lives in them, and animals are usually "spooked" by drones. I saw a video somebody posted where they took off outside a state park, but flew into one. The drone was attacked by a bald eagle (which are protected and cannot be harmed), and the drone's propellers ended up hitting the eagle in the head and at the barest minimum knocked it out of the sky and it fell over 100 feet to the ground. It may not have been killed, it may have only been stunned ... the pilot didn't stick around long enough to find out. However, that just proves the point of why it's banned.
Richard,
I have a wooded property that backs up to a state park and have just as much wildlife on my square mile of land as the park does.
So why would flying over a state park be any different than flying over private property?.
Thank you guys.
As always, informative and entertaining.
You bet!
Thanks Ken love the videos I'm a new pilot love the info
Was gonna get one...but now..Forget it! Timing couldn't be better..lol
Won't be able to fly at all pretty soon. Gotta clear the skies for the corporate delivery drones.
Gotta get those tube socks there FAST!
thanks for making this video! i purposely got the mavic mini (given its a ‘toy’) to get footage for my travel vlog.. but i think i’m going to go ahead and get my license. this was helpful - thanks!
Glad to help, Christine!
Great someone responsible and sensible for a change
Great info. thanks for the update. And remember, the Bird is the word!!!
😂😂😂6.20 Did Jeff say "I've read sexual charts".....Well everybody heard......and not about the bird😂😂😂
😂😂😂from Idaho wont fly near the white house... got it . Great video and informative.
Guys, thanks for the vid. First time watcher. I'm a fairly new drone pilot. I use it for work and really, only work. I'm a Home Inspector and there are some roofs that I won't walk on because of type of material or steepness. My drone is a tool just like a ladder or a flashlight. I have a drone with a 48mp camera that is also smart enough to know if I'm in a no fly zone. That has actually been a problem on a couple of inspections. I never need to fly more than the size of the house and maybe 20 feet above. I'd be very OK with some sort of lock/toggle that wouldn't allow me to fly higher than X (80 feet) and no more than Y (150 feet) away. I can't believe that those restrictions would ever interfere with a plane landing around a residential area. I'm betting I'm not the only home inspector that has purchase a drone for the same reasons I did. Just my 2 cents.
You most certainly had fun in the making of this video.
What about DJI goggles? Can’t keep my eyes on drone if I’m looking into an enclosed goggle.
I Just bought some eyeball stickers for my goggles.
In this case you need to have a spotter.
So basically every time you fly you have to have a flight crew? BS!
I register my drone last year I'll never do it again they've gone too far and I will not deal with them anymore come arrest me
thanks for the info.. the faa fixed flying sites list is pretty anemic. i hope there are revisions / additions soon.
Great video 👍 keeping the hobby fun
Wake up, bear!
I no longer recommend a drone for anybody. I'm even thinking of selling mine. Why bother flying anymore.
Rules rules and more rules, thats it I quit, no more hobby, f_ck online sales, hobby industry destroyed, by the federal gov, no more hobby shops. Not spending money😁
Ken, You truly keep me entertained and educated about what's happening in the world of drones. Do you have any idea how many drones were confiscated by a special task force during Superbowl week in Atlanta? I know on one day they confiscated 6 or 7 in initial reports and I wonder if anyone got fines out of violating the T.F.R.?
Good info ! Thanks ! Even better , breaking out The Bird is the word !! Lucky Jeff is a good sport ! 😁👍👍
The FAA has no authority on non Federal land.
Waterworld 360 ...... it’s not the LAND they are controlling.
normally the airspace below 15 feet is not goverened by the faa as these boats that skipfly to nomore than 15 feet is allowable so hmmmm
Nobody has line of sight of their drone. After a good 100 feet, you can't see it anymore
I agree! And even if using binoculars it's very difficult or near impossible to see these little guys.
Great vid. Thanks
Thank you Mike.
Ken makes the best drone videos
Ken thanks you very much.
I dont think drug traffickers run by that rule. lol
I am 68 years old and have been flying RC most of my life am I going to fly safely yes am I going to follow all these new rules Hell No.
I think you can get "grandfathred" in.
--See what I did there?!🤣🤣
Ken would you do a room tour of your setup?.Wow!
Ken, thanks so much for this helpful video!
You're very welcome, Glenn!
You have to be 16 to fly a drone but if you are 12 you can carry a high power rifle into the woods and go hunting.
Makes NO sense.
16 is for Part 107
@@0TedDBear0 Still makes no sense!
You can join ARMY at 18 and kill your enemy but you cant drink ????
Standby.....the rules will only become worse.
Thanks for the info. I wish they had something in there for my situation. I live with in 5 miles of 2 airports. 1 of those "airports" is a private grass runway in someone's feild. I don't fly my quad or heli higher than a telephone pole. There are trees higher than that. I still had to contact the airports and let them know. Now with the new rule I'm not sure what to do if I want to fly in my back yard.
Nice funny and informative!! And what the hail! That monitor is wicked cool! What is that huge beast?
Herre's a link to the Big-WIDE computer monitor: amzn.to/2K6LFRV
Thank you...I believe ill start burning my drones now
Or.. Just get your part 107 and laugh at these rules! Haha!!!
Below is something I sent to someone else about the part 107 it's just a copy and paste that I wrote..
-----------------------
the part 107 is really for people who want to make money with their drones. that's why the rules are more strict. You also have to pay $150 every 2 years which is ridiculous!!
The recreational flying lions are more lenient and I'm sure the test will be less expensive.. and it should be like your license once you take a test for your drone it should be one test in one test only shouldn't have to take it every two years.. I understand taking it every 2 years if you're making money with your drone because rules change when it comes to that stuff..
Thousands of people who have drones are pissed off and most of them don't want to to take the part 107 making money with their drones they just want to have fun and flying..
if they don't have the new recreational test in lanc ready soon I already know hundreds of people that are selling their drones. Not to mention will affect people's drone channels, God knows how much revenue for companies, third parties that sell dron stuff..
They should have never never never told us we were grounded without having the test, and laanc ready!!
Their ignorance and incompetence, not to mention unprofessionalism not taking care of this much earlier making a test in the beginning has caused thousands of people to be pissed off who spent thousands and thousands of dollars on drone stuff..
And they still have not given any answer of when the system or test is coming out
I question the professionalism of the FAA in the planes that fly above our head the way that they've handled drones from beginning. If this is how they handle flying planes in the way they do crap we should all be very scared to fly..
in other words it would be like telling someone who wanted to get their regular drivers license and only take one test. having the registry say we don't have the test ready AND WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WE WILL. you can't drive anymore but if you want to take your CDL WRITTEN TEST ( THERE IS MORE THAN ONE, AND COSTS A LOT MORE ) WE WILL LET YOU DRIVE AGAIN EVEN THOUGH YOU NEVER HAVE ANY INTENTIONS OF BEING A CDL DRIVER!!
So basically you paid more money, and you have to deal with more rules and regulations, doctors appointments, physicals for no freaking reason!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL!! BECAUSE OF THIS IN INCOMPETENCE, AND LAZINESS I QUESTION THE FAA ORGANIZATION AND THE PLANES ABOVE OUR HEAD!!
Great info, your wild Ken!
Thank you Ken!
Thanks for explaining this, not only for the hobbyists but also on the part of part 107 drone fliers too, to know the differences in the rules and regulations!
Always happy to help, Mark!
@@KenHeron And, of course, the Bird is the Word with Jeff is great fun, too!
Ok, you part 107 pilots. No having fun!
drone pirate for life
It 'appears' from what I've read and watched that US and Cdn drone regs and rules are pretty close. I wonder if being certified in one country will permit rec flyers to operate in the other. I was initially perplexed with what the Transport Canada (TC) req'd in terms of study material. Heard many of the same gripes posted on this thread ie We fly below 400', why care about 18000'? etc. You nailed it. If you're not willing to learn, buy something under 250 gms. I support both countries new schemes. Great video.
If you're going to misuse quotation marks, at least use real quotation marks.
Great content Ken 👍🏻
Thank you 👍
HI!
FIRST yet again sir!!
Test, restrictions = Money... It's a hobby, for fun.. Big Brother.. BS!!
This is kinda the vibe I'm getting too. Someone realised they should have been making money and now every time you turn around there is going to be a new fee or fine if you don't. Air time charges next? Guess I'm done lol

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂...... rules are made to be broken and “laws”, Hahahahahah I usually fly my drone when I’ve had to much to drink, it’s more challenging.
Thanks Ken. Good to know 🤔.....
👍
Good information thank you very much
You're very welcome
Hi Ken us in the UK will have to go through this in September with the New Drone rules coming in to force.
Yeah, the noose continues to tighten...
Im still recovering from your previous video.....still seeing digital font numbers when i close my eyes. Extracted all frames and scanned them until the 2hr (in-video timer) mark. Grats to the person who won though. I did get a laugh from the snippets throughout 👍
Haaa!!
Glad you enjoyed it.
I bought a drone recently, 4.8 oz, and wonder where I can fly it? I was not aware of all the FAA regulation of the airspace. Am I understanding that right now 6/9/2019, I can only fly in certain areas, as a non-tested pilot, and the test have not been even set up yet? It is very confusing! I live within a 5 mile radius of a control tower, and according to B4UFly, a "0" rated altitude square, If I go out in the rural country, is it still within the control area "B,G, or whatever it is". IN another Utube discussion, it seems Amazon, etc wants to use drones to deliver in rural areas, does that mean all airspace below 400 feet is to become controlled air space? So that now a hobbyist, can't fly in town or in the rural countryside without FAA clearance or notification? It seems that it might be easier to renew my private pilot lic, and return to fixed wing flying.
2:01 Like a year ago there was an interview with the head of the FAA, I forget his name, but he said posting on CZcams still falls under recreational use.
Yes, unless your channel is monetized.
@@KenHeron What if your channel is monitized but you choose not to monetize the drone videos?
Fun & Informative. I failed & then used RemotePilot101 myself & passed. Sectional Charts & Airfield Traffic Patterns were my downfall. If youre having trouble, keep it up you will eventually get it. Failing can be cost prohibitive though!!
Glad you passed!!
thanks
Love it the way You Say not Editing that,
Gretings from Europe (Croatia) it's the same thing here on Europe.In my coutry we hawe to registered on 4 diferent guverment structure.Eaven we must open the corporation if we want to post video on social media.Before every fly we must send E-mail to "DGU" and mark the map where we want to fly,and after fly-in we must sent to them all recorded media for inspection.Onley then we got permition to share,post or sale airobrne recorded media.
Sorry 4 bad spelling and greatings from Croatia,your big Fan :)
