Here is the meat and potatoes of the new ruling we will be required to meet.
Once again, this isnt that painfull of thing, whether you agree or disagree. I am not in favor of this new law but understand the need for it with the new exposure quad copters bring to the table, as well as so many new RTF or BNF park models bringing in non AMA membership or educated Club members. Its the price we all must pay for the continuation of our hobby. Lets just pray it doesnt get even more regulated down the road.

Please do plan on having this number somewhere where it can be seen at the Nats this year.

• All aircraft that are flown using a ground control system, such as a transmitter, are required to participate. This includes fixed-wing aircraft, not just multirotors or drones.
• Any pilot flying models weighing between .55 pounds (or 250 grams) and 55 lbs is required to register.
• You will not be required to register every aircraft individually. You only need to register yourself and can affix one registration number to all your aircraft.
• You must mark all aircraft with your registration number. The number can be inside the aircraft, such as a battery hatch - but should not require tools to access.
• The FAA plans to launch the online registration website on Monday, December 21.
• There is a $5 fee to register, which is waived if you register within the first 30 days.
• You only need to register once every 3 years.
