Model aircraft under 20 kg are outside the EU aviation insurance regulation

In plain language

The EU aviation insurance regulation does not cover model aircraft weighing less than 20 kg, so any insurance duty for those aircraft comes from national law instead.

Requirement as structured

Regulation (EC) No 785/2004 shall not apply to model aircraft with a maximum take-off mass of less than 20 kg.
