Licensing is a very real and important part of any UAV flying. These machines can be very dangerous and a good understanding of how they work is key to keeping not only yourself safe as well as the surrounding public and property.
\n\n\n\n
Insurance is also a big factor when you choose to fly commercially, that is making money off the drone. Being insured proves the company is legitimate and covers public liability up to $20 million.
\n\n\n\n
