Thailand draw up drone law

Thailand  is looking to ban non authorised drones, hoping to pass the laws  by next year.  The proposals  would see all cameras banned except for commercial reasons. Flights would be restricted to 500 feet above the ground. Flying time would also be restricted to 60 minutes 
If people are then caught breaking the drone laws they could be fined 40,000 and 12 months in prison.

Honeywell T-Hawk UAV

 

 I thought this worth a mention purely because it looks like something from Star Wars. The Honeywell T-Hawk is a Gasoline powered UAV in the MAV Family (micro aerial vehicle) and is .reported to weigh about 20lbs. With a ceiling of 3200 meters a radius of 11km and a speed of 130kmh this is a very useful  Reconnaissance tool.
