Hiya was just wondering if anyone has successfully modded an Anafi to be under 250 grams with a 10+ minute flight time? or is anyone interested in bouncing a few ideas around so that we can all fly under the 250 gram radar?

heres a teaser for ya, now lets see what you got out there :)

It doesn't make sense anymore in Europe because they are introducing the MTOM system. This means the maximum take-off weight of a drone. A 249g drone can lift at least 10g and then it's 259g MTOM. So the same rules still apply unfortunately.

Oh, where are you based? as I'm in the UK, heres a little snipet you might find interesting? also if you could find simular info applying to your country maybe post it here so I can have a read? Will come in handy when traveling :)

Is there a weight-based classification system for drones resulting in the application of different rules?​

The UAS Regulations now set out three different categories of drone operation: Open, Specific and Certified. While maximum take-off mass (MTOM) is a factor in the categorisation, it is not the sole factor.

The Open category is for drones with a MTOM up to 25kg considered as low-risk operations. The category is then subdivided (Part A Annex UAS Implementing Regulation) into A1 (drones marked C0, with a MTOM less that 250g or marked C1 and operated with an active and updated direct remote identification system and geo-awareness function, flying over people but not over assemblies of people performed by a remote pilot who has passed an online test and holds a flyer ID), A2 (drones marked C2 flying at least 30m from people and not over people performed by a remote pilot who has passed an online test and holds a flyer ID), and A3 (drones marked C4, with a MTOM under 25kg or marked C2 or C3 and operated with an active and updated direct remote identification system and geo-awareness function, flown at least 150m from residential, commercial or industrial areas by a remote pilot who has passed an online test and holds a flyer ID).

Rules applying to the whole Open category include flying at a maximum height of 120m, keeping within the visual line of sight (VLOS) no dropping of articles and no carriage of goods. For all three subcategories within the Open category, there must be no flying within restricted airspace without relevant permission.

The Specific category relates to more complex operations and requires an operational authorisation. An operation does not fall into the Specific category solely because of MTOM but rather because the operation does not meet one or more of the requirements for it to be classed as an Open category operation (article 5 UAS Implementing Regulation).

The Certified category relates to complex operations which present an equivalent risk to that of manned aviation. This category requires the use of a certified UAS, an operator and a licensed remote pilot.
