We have the same problem with the FAA in the US, if you want to fly model aircraft. As part of the FAA, Reauthorization Act of 2018, Model Aircraft flying is now restricted to 400' AGL or below. With no wavers being issued at this time. Also, any recreational flyers, have to register at the FAA, and pay a fee to obtain an "Aircraft Registration" number that has to be attached to all the pilots Model Aircraft. So many facets of Model Flying, for example Thermal Duration Sailplanes , F3B/F3F, etc, are effectively grounded, with this 400 foot "ceiling". . US pilots will be unable to train for International FAI contests too.
The organization that represents most Model Aircraft flyers here in the US, the Academy of Model Aeronautics , or AMA had been told, that AMA club fields, and flight in Class G airspace would not be restricted. Well that didn't happen. Not only that, but there is also a requirement for hobby flyers, to pass an Aeronautical Knowledge Test, just like the UK.
excerpt from Section 349, of this Reauthorization Bill, Aeronautical Knowledge and Safety Test.--
``(1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of

stakeholders, and community-based organizations, shall develop

administered electronically by the Administrator, a community-
based organization, or a person designated by the Administrator.
No sign of this "Aeronautical Knowledge and Safety Test yet....

At least BFMA members will still be allowed to fly Model Aircraft above 400 feet,
Members will continue to benefit from the existing permissions/exemptions already granted to the CAA recognised UK Associations (such as the permission to operate above 400ft with aircraft of less than 7Kg
