I’d to introduce myself, I’m Carlos from Spain and I’ll be visiting Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh and the Highlands) in less than two months.
I have my Operator ID, flyer ID and silver access to Drone Scene ready to enjoy flying great locations.
I have several drones but with new the 2026 rules, I think Mini 5 Pro and Air 3s are similar to fly both inside and outside urban area. Which of them do you think is a better option?
By the way don’t hesitate to ask me about rules in Spain if someone is going to travel there in the future.

Sorry, I’ve just seen your message. In Spain, flying a drone is quite complicated. The most important things to consider are:
A) Register as an operator.
B) Pass an exam if your drone is C1 or higher.
C) Notify the police if you intend to fly over urban areas.

I’m from the south of Spain, so I don’t know very well restrictions there.
