You appear to be saying Helen, that while he did not infringe any
airspace nor "get too close to people", nor cause a danger to them,
that he made a noise nuisance of himself by flying around and around?
(did I understand you right?)

If yes, then that's that's the first time I heard he'd been
"flying around and around making a noise disturbance".
Then, yes, he shouldn't do that.

If on the other hand, he *wasn't* doing that, then he can carry on.
And in that case, I'll re-write my suggestion to exclude his making
a "round and round" noise nuisance:

>> Otherwise, the complainer will have achieved his objective......
>> "I got rid of the ultralight flying in my air-space!"
>> Cheers,
