Hi All,
I have sent you all a copy of an email from the BMFA about the consultation paper from the Aviation Ministry about future legislation for drones. Unfortunately this covers all unmanned aircraft (not just quadcopters), so we are being encouraged to respond to the consultation questionnaire.
A number of club members have already done their responses via the online website (many thanks to them) and it would be great if you could all take some time to respond so that we can get an overwhelming response for the government to consider - especially separating quadcopters from the rest of the aeromodelling community. It takes about an hour to do but it's got to be worth it .
The email I sent you contains the BMFA recommended replies to each question - you don't have to put anything else other then 'yes', 'no' or 'don't know' and you don't have to answer any of the 'why' questions if you don't want to.
Here's the BMFA link

Please have a go if you've got the time and want to make a really positive contribution to the future of our hobby.
Many thanks
Rob Stanley
Hon. Sec.
