Developoing a mini quad racer with a maximum weight of 250g

The austrian “Drone Law” see BMVIT Drohnenflug Info defines that every UAV below 250g, flying with a maximum speed of 60km/h and a maximum height of 30m is rated as a toy! According to this offical BMVIT inofromation taking pictures and making videos should be possible without any permissions!
