2 metre wingspan autopilot plane batteries/motors

Well I don’t know of any new regulation to do with SUAs, so that’s the legislation I’m working with.
I did also discover that under 500g I can fly within 50m of people/transport (according to Britishdronefliers), which is good.
I will definitely look into BMFA insurance.
Thanks for the help.

I have already read the first one, I just read the second one, and it is very interesting. It seems, however, that some of the BMFA guidelines differ from those of the CAA, I am not a member of the BMFA. I found in this article (britishdroneflyers.org/a2cofc) that it is possible to fly within 50m of uninvolved people if you have either an a2CofC or the model is under 500g, which I understood to be the main issue.

"Well I don’t know of any new regulation to do with SUAs, so that’s the legislation I’m working with."
Hmmm! Like all things legal ignorance of the law is no excuse.

The BMFA do have extra "permissions" but they only apply if you are flying at a BMFA registered site otherwise you have to fly within the CAA rules.
Not the easiest thing to read.. 

I have so far been planning to operate within CAA rules, and, having read the Article 16 info provided by Eric, it still seems that SUA operations are still legal. While it did state that CAA permissions are required if flying over 400ft, i will be flying below that.
