The FAA considers any thing controlled by an auto pilot or a person not in the craft a DRONE i.e. All our R/C Toys are really Drones. The real problem is the News Media doesn't differentiate one type from another ... Quads type R/C TOYS are the problem because just about any one can reasonably be expected to be able to fly one with little or no training. As We all realize there in lies the problem. These people haven't had the training that comes with belonging to a strutted club environment.
But for the AMA not endorsing them because some people just don't like them ain't about to happen. There are too many big companys are selling. Places Like Best Buy Amazon, EBay, Hobby King Tower, and many many others. There is just too much money to be made from QUADs to expect them to go away anytime soon. Better Get Used to they they are here to stay. Well at least till people get bored with them. But then I'm just preaching to the Choir anyway JMHO.
