Recreational drones
The UK has strict laws regarding recreational drones. Just recently, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), opened registration requirements for drone owners. This includes an online theory test. Before flying drones less than 250g, owners must register the aircraft with the CAA. These rules are crucial because they regulate drone flying in certain areas. The CAA can answer any questions you may have about drone laws.
Commercial drones
It is possible that the introduction of commercial drones will spark controversy and cause new rules. Recent data from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), showed a substantial increase in unmanned aircraft system permissions. These aircraft have the potential to lower costs, increase efficiency and provide new services. There are however risks. Unmanned aircraft systems could cause injury or damage to people. Additionally, they can be accidentally misused and disrupt thousands of flights. It is essential to establish a new regulatory framework that protects the public against such incidents.
The UK has no-fly areas
The UK government announced plans in order to increase drone no-fly zones near airports. These areas will rise from one kilometer down to five kilometers. After the recent Gatwick incident, Heathrow bought drone anti-drone system. The new rules set by the government will ensure drones do no pose a threat to passengers or airport workers. The UK is leading the fight against drone crime and regulation. It is a crime in the UK to fly a drone more than 400 feet and within five km of an airport. If convicted, you could face significant fines and even a life sentence.
Legacy drones
It's important that you understand the rules of flying Legacy Drones in the UK. These drones can only be flown on open fields and not in residential areas. As with other aircraft, operators must remain at least 150 metres away from people and buildings. However, they can fly legacy drones of up to 2kg that are unmarked in the A3 Subcategory, Open Category. This restriction is somewhat less strict than its predecessors.
Nano-drones
A nano-drone is a miniature unmanned aerial vehicle. Developed by Norwegian firm Prox Dynamics, these tiny drones are small and lightweight. These small drones offer situational awareness above the ground as well as in the air. They can easily pass through obstacles because of their small size. The government of the United Kingdom has contracted a company for the development of 160 Nano drones. The cost of the contract is twenty million sterling pounds.
DefendTex Drone40
The DefendTex Drone40 UAV (nano-unmanned aerial vehicle) is a UAV with a 12-kilometer operating range. It was used by the British Army for monitoring Mali's environment, and as a loitering munition. It is lightweight, weighs less than half a pound, and can fly for 30 to 60 minutes. Depending on the payload it can carry electronic or dynamic weapons as well as smoke/flash, and a laser designationator.

How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
To repair a motor damaged, the first step is to identify which part is broken. To do this, remove the propeller and motor shaft. Then remove any wires and take a look at the motor's inner workings. If you notice something amiss, you'll know what part of your motor to fix.
If there is no damage to the motor, then you don't have to worry too much however if the motor looks like one of these images below, then you'll need to replace some components before you can fly again.
Consider a motor that has become bent and won't turn. The motor must be bent again. To hold the motor in place, you can use a pair or vice grips. Once you've done this, make sure to check the motor thoroughly for signs of wear.
Once you are satisfied with everything, mount the propeller on the motor shaft. Reattach the wires. Now you are ready to fly your drone!
