Will you register your model plane?
OK, this Friday we will know if we will have to register our model airplane. Or perhaps including our AMA number on or in our plane will become federal regulation. But regardless if required will you register your plane if required?
First time I have done a poll as most are useless, but I thought this might be usefull.

It so happens you can chose more than one. But you lied when you clicked that or did not carefully read the statement. It says;
"I didn't know you may have to register "
From your past postings I know you knew that there is a possibility that we may have to register!

I choose the one that most closely fit my thoughts. I may or may not have too. With any luck we will know tomorrow.

As you said in another post those are recommendations. The registration can only be voluntary because the law says the FAA cannot regulate, not protecting the NAS either.

They used the word recommendation. Now just what those will be and what they are looking to register is yet to be seen. So you "May" or "May Not" need to comply.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and FAA Administrator Michael Huerta today announced the creation of a task force to develop recommendations for a registration process for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). 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. The task force also will explore options for a streamlined system that would make registration less burdensome for commercial UAS operators.
The task force may make additional safety recommendations as it deems appropriate. Secretary Foxx directed the group to deliver its report by Nov. 20.

This showed up in another forum once again the word "recommendations" is being used.

I have over over a hundred planes, what the heck do you do now if it happens? and it always comes down to money, I would bet my ex girlfriend that there will soon be a charge to do so. Sure don't think the fixed wing and helicopter guys have been doing anything to have too! AMA please let them know we are a completely different deal, we do the building and flying as a hobby, and do it under the AMA guidelines!

Yes . I most certainly will register my planes if required .
Will I like it ? Hell NO !
But ! ...... to continue to legally practice a hobby I love , if legality does require registration , then I'll (grudgingly) do it . 50 years of flying legal I an just too darned OLD to become an "outlaw flyer" (cue outlaw biker music with some beer and a few tattoos)
That's why we love Sport , Short , direct , and (usually) on target . To be honest , Mike did know of Friday's upcoming proclamation of doom and so his answer was , to be kind , inaccurate 
.......

Either I will or I won't since I don't fly "drones" I fly Heli's ,Planks and EDF'S. Now I realize that I'm splitting hairs but I'm just being as honest as I can.Hope this clears up why I answered the way I did.

I won't have a problem with registering my planes if all is needed is one number that can be used for all of them and it don't cost to much. But I voted yes I will register.

Now the big question. If I were to mount one of my firearms in one of my RC model airplanes, what do I register, the firearm or the model plane
Perhaps I am one up on you. 1. Being an AMA member ! 2. Being an NRA member ! 3. The thought of combining the two ! LOL

So you are afraid of using the first amendment?
