Have Fun! Be Safe!
All flights are the sole responsibility of the individual conducting them. Each competitor must abide by the drone code and adhere to the limitations and restrictions imposed upon them by aviation law, the aircraft being used and the qualifications they hold. This is where a trite aphorism or lame quip is normally inserted. If a flight is undertaken in a restricted zone proof of permission having been granted is required.
