Regulations to fly copters  the “Drohnenverordnung” went through the Federal Council – the 100m regulation will be redone. Overall good news for those of us who fly for research or commerical projects. The ascent permission for copters below 2kg/5kg  was skipped. This will make it much easier to fly within legal regulations.
