I would hope that the registration requirement apply to only MR's but at this time I don't see it and that gives me concern.
Duncman: I feel exactly the same way you do. My gut feeling is they , meaning the FAA will define EXACTLY WHAT TYPE of aircraft they are talking about, but also give spec's of these aircraft. Right now we do not know anything until the Rule is out. I do not think they are concerned about Traditional RC Aircraft, for the last 50 years or so. This hobby is a Big Money dollar business , weekly, but will conduct their business of Personnel Safety of Aircraft in the Flying Public, their First concern, I agree with that, and they should! That is their JOB!
I do not think they will want every modeler to register their aircraft.......Can you just Imagine the confusion!!!!!!!!!! Serial numbers for every aircraft, NO WAY HOSE. Ain't gonna happen, relax.
