London Olympics Model Flying Restrictions

I've just stumbled across this and thought it might be worth posting here. I'm sure it's probably in the BMFA publications somewhere but I hadn't seen it.

No model aircraft over 7Kg will be able to be flown within the protected areas as shown in the link during the specified dates. It's quite a big area and I know that it does cover more than one jet club.

We had the same crap here for the winter Olympics in 2010. Pretty soon "they" realized it was all a bunch of crap and lifted the ban.

Good luck with that. :eek:

Same in Athens 2004, no rc planes close to all Olympic installations.

Nothing serious, don't worry. The same way we follow the rules of our hobby, a few times in our life we have to accept some limitations when something big is happening.
