So the proposed CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) drone registration scheme which comes into force from November, which includes people who fly or own RC planes and helicopters, will have to pay an annual fee of £16.50 in order to fly any UAV with a weight of 250g to 20kg.
Which basically means every single good camera drone (DJI Spark and up, Autel EVO, Parrot Anafi etc), it will also include RC planes and Helicopters that fit in the same weight categories.
Failure to do so will result in a fine up to £1000.
As a quadcopter builder and flyer myself, I am glad the majority of the models I build are below 250g even though they are constructed with carbon fibre and titanium and capable of speeds in excess of 100mph.
