Watch and listen. "any unmanned aircraft flying in the NAS is a UAS". By that statement, A paper airplane is a UAS. Sad but true. So sorry to see it incrementally end this way.

From the press release: "The task force will be composed of 25 to 30 diverse representatives from the UAS and manned aviation industries, the federal government, and other stakeholders. The group will advise the Department on which aircraft should be exempt from registration due to a low safety risk, including toys and certain other small UAS." Note, however, they also recognize that UAVs with cameras can be purchased for under $40 so the word "toy" is ambiguous. These guys have a lot of work to do and very litte time to do it. The FAA expects over a million UAVs will be sold this Christmas season and woudl like to get that under control.

What part of the FAA has ultimate safety related authority over anything that enters the National Aerospace System do you not understand? It's your kind of attitude that has caused this problem.

IMO its all of the frabricated reports and press that is the problem. Any aircraft brought down by a model airplane out there?

BTW, the FAA has also recognized the AMA requirement that a person put his AMA number clearly visible on his models. I'm sure during this fact finding process they will find that most don't and that most clubs ignore it.

Can't think of any aircraft brought down by one but we have all read several stories of homes and cars being destroyed by fires that fire fighting aircraft couldn't reach bcause of UAVs. Or doesn't that register in your brain?

By definition, a "drone" is any aircraft that uses an aided flying system. Typically, this is a video transmitter but later FAA definitions also include GPS controlled systems.
I have always been of the opinion that FPV and GPS systems should not be part of model aircraft, and the single pilot, un-aided line of sight rule should be used. If people want to fly their "drones", then they should get their own sanctioning body (like the AMA) and have at it.

Not Register the "Plane" but the "Operator." Get Ready to PAY Periodically, for Federal LICENSE. And Heaven Help Us ALL if That License Requires "Compliance Inspections" from a Goverment Agency. Just Ask any FFL License Holder about Their dealings with the ATF. They'll Tell You....,

I did not actually finish that the computer locked up and the following is what was intended.
Where those large enough to bring down an aircraft? I know a 50 pound model could but a lot of these are less than a couple of pounds, some less than a pound. Seems that the risk would be very small even if they did hit one. They were not flying small Piper Cubs either.
The point is that the risk is overblown and registration can not solve anything. The very ones who cause the problems will not know and if they did would not bother with registration.
Sounds like a step toward banning if you ask me. Once they know whose doors to knock on they will pick them up.
