Due to the new registration rules of all RC aircraft within the limits the Faa put forth I strongly encourage all pilots considering competing in any AMA sanctioned events , register their equipment, put the reg# inside the plane or where ever the law will require. Lets be proactive. Im pretty sure this will become mandatory for any official event. The cost is $5 for all of you planes if done in the allotted time frame and then they will also refund you that 100%.
This is in thanks to the quad copter guys operating with no regards to common sense or legal conformance.
Then everybody started calling these quads, drones and it spiraled into what we have now.
here is the link to register your race planes:

Please be advised this will probably become mandatory so lets be the rush and just get it done.
