    I couldn't find the RC forum so I'm guessing that it comes under the 'aviation' umbrella right?

    My RC Vulture flying about inside the house.
    This is a short video for my buddy in Europe who is having problem's with his own helicopter.

    Hope this helps, if not, then just enjoy the whirly-bird doin' it's thing.

    I am curious as to what the rules are in Ireland for RC use and ownership. I know in England they have some licensing nonsense there...

    Hi,

    I'm an ex RC heli flier. I believe the height rule is up to 500ft and compulsory insurance. I'm open to correction on this.

    Best place to check is the MACI website and even contact them.

    Best of luck!

    400 feet limit for model aircraft over 1.5kg i think. Thats the IAA rules as i last seen them anyway, although that was a while ago.
