"Drones will have to be registered and users will have to sit safety awareness tests under new rules to better regulate their growing use, the government announced today (22 July 2017).
Owners of drones weighing 250 grams [8.8 ounces] and over will in future have to
register details of their drones to improve accountability and encourage
owners to act responsibly.
Users may be able to register online or through apps, under plans
being explored by the government. The move follows safety research that
concluded drones could damage the windscreens of helicopters."
that includes some mighty small quadcopters. the DJI Spark weighs about 300 grams (10.5 ounces). But as they get more sophisticated and capable, perhaps that is a good cutoff point.
