See prior discussions here and in other threads. Nothing has been ironed out yet. The presser seemed to weigh in the "drone" area pretty heavily. Fixed wing were not specifically mentioned, but there were comments about all aircraft. Anything is possible of course, but I'd wager we won't be registering our Parkzone planes anytime soon. Or ever.
