Quadcopters UK sells all types of drones, from recreational to racing. Drones of top brands such as FrSky and TBS are available at an affordable price. You can also find information about No-Fly Zones and legacy drones. QuadcoptersUK has everything you need to buy any type of drone. Here are some tips for getting started.
Recreational drones
The UK has strict laws on recreational drones. Just recently, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), opened registration requirements for drone owners. This includes an online theory exam. Before flying drones less than 250g, owners must register the aircraft with the CAA. These rules regulate recreational drone flight in certain areas. The CAA is available to answer questions about drone law.
Commercial drones
The introduction and use of commercial drones is likely sparking debate and creating new rules. Recently, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), reported that there was a significant increase in permits to use unmanned aircraft systems. These aircraft can be cost-effective, efficient, and can provide new services. There are risks. Unmanned aircraft systems can cause accidents and damage to people, and accidentally misusing them can disrupt thousands of flights. To protect the public from such incidents, a new regulatory framework is needed.

The UK has no-fly zones
The UK government announced plans that drones will be banned from areas around airports. These areas will increase from one kilometer to five kilometers. The recent Gatwick incident forced the airport to ground flights for a day and Heathrow purchased drone anti-drone systems. The new rules set by the government will ensure drones do no pose a threat to passengers or airport workers. The UK is leading in drone regulation and criminal prevention. The UK's drone laws make it a crime to fly a drone over 400 feet or within five kilometers of an airport. A conviction can result in significant fines and even a death sentence.
Legacy drones
It is essential to know the rules for flying Legacy Drones in Britain if you want to do so. These drones cannot be flown within residential areas. Like all other aircraft, they must be kept at least 150 meters from people and buildings. They are however allowed to fly upto 2kg unmarked legacy drones under the A3 subcategory of open category, which is somewhat more restrictive than its predecessors.
Nano-drones
A nanodrone is an unmanned, miniature aerial vehicle. Developed by Norwegian firm Prox Dynamics, these tiny drones are small and lightweight. These tiny drones are designed to provide situational awareness of the ground and air. Because they are small, they can cross over any obstacle without difficulty. In the United Kingdom, the government has contracted a company to develop 160 Nano drones. The contract costs twenty million sterling pounds.

DefendTex Drone40
The DefendTex Drone40 UAV (nano-unmanned aerial vehicle) is a UAV with a 12-kilometer operating range. The British Army used it to monitor Mali where it was being used as a loitering weapon. It is lightweight, weighs less than half a pound, and can fly for 30 to 60 minutes. Depending upon the payload, it can carry electronic, kinetic, smoke/flash, or a laser designator.
FAQ
Do I need any special training to fly drones?
No, you don’t need any special training in order to fly your drone. You only need a remote controller unit and basic knowledge about flight mechanics.
What type of batteries should a drone be using?
The majority of drones run on lithium-ion batteries. A typical drone consumes between 3 and 6.
Is it possible to fly my drone in my backyard?
Yes! These are called UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). There are many kinds of drones today. They range from small quadcopters, to large fixed-wing planes. The FAA has recently issued new rules regarding the commercial use of UAVs, which means you can now legally fly them for business purposes. Be aware that UAVs operating near airports could cause interference to air traffic control systems. You must get permission from the authorities before you can fly one.
Can I fly my drone indoors
Yes, it is possible to fly your drone indoors. It is important to make sure there are no hazards or obstacles in your home. You should not fly near windows, doors or heating vents.
What is the difference of a quadcopter and an hexacopter, you ask?
A quadcopter is an four-rotor helicopter which flies in the same manner as a conventional helicopter. It has four rotors which rotate independently. The quadcopter's quadcopter counterpart, the hexacopter, has six instead of four. Hexacopters are more stable and maneuverable than quadcopters.

How To
How do you clean your drone?
These are some tips to help you clean your drone. This guide will help ensure that your drone gets every bit of its potential.
-
You should have the right tools. Be sure to have everything you require before you begin any task. You will need a soft brush or a toothbrush and a cleaning agent (we recommendWD40).
-
Disconnect the battery pack. The first thing you need to do is remove the battery from the drone's bottom. The battery is usually located under the propeller. Don't be alarmed if it's not obvious. Just take care not to lose any screws during removal.
-
All parts must be removed. Next, remove everything from the drone's lower side. You should make sure that they are not loose as they could fall off during cleaning.
-
Use a cleaning solution. Now it is time to clean the drone. Before doing so, we recommend using a cleaning solution such as WD40. Spray the entire surface of the drone with the cleaner. Make certain to get in between components. Let it dry completely before you put everything back together.
-
Replace the battery. Once you have cleaned the drone, make sure to put it back in its place. So you can check the performance of your drone after cleaning it.
