regarding the regulations... as far as I can find, its only commercial that requires a 'license' this is about to change as the recreational regulations are currently in draft.
My guess is we would have to go do a test of sorts to obtain a license. The test would probably be about the 'no-fly zones' and rules, etc

So much temptation

It changed already and fines are really high. My gf fly elicopters ( the real one)and she always let me know what caa decide etc . ( because i want one as well) .
They draft already rules and some places like reserve etc are no fligth zone with no fine but imprisonement up to 10 years.
Just be safe and google it . Is plenty info
