So, it looks like I need to join the RSGB and also take an exam to be able to get an amateur radio license, which is fine. I also need to apply for a drone operator permit (costs), as well as actually being able to fly a drone as well (free) ... looks like I'll need to plan that out soon as if I'm going to be experimenting with radios and drones, I want to make sure that everything is legit at my end!
Membership of the FPV might be a good idea too, if only for the £5m of public liability insurance! Of course, as a self-respecting geek, I probably should have been signed up or at least more ready to sign up before now, but better late than never, right?
