Looks like they're planning on clamping down. Anything more than 250 grams to be regulated (even recreational). Under 1Kg, min age of pilot 14. Over 1Kg, min age 16. Ending distinction between recreational and commercial, focusing on weight and where it's flown. Also an insurance required for both recreational and commercial.

Really? Were are there numbers? Where are their charts. You know I love numbers...where's the beef? Yes, they are concerned about safety and their NAS...who isn't at this point? Sweden just took some drastic steps there.

So where are the studies about likelihood of collision?
