In case you haven't heard, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the drone registration regulations (Part 48) do not apply to Section 336 model aircraft.
Everyone had a bunch of questions regarding this case. So I updated the previous article that I sent out last week. I included much more helpful info.
