I suggested that exact same thing over a year ago and almost got lynched. Why do people protest so when like thinking people are trying to weed out the UNSAFE Drone people giving all of us responsible flyers a bad name. Sure things have quited down since. The FAA has relented some and NON commercial R/C flying isn't subject to all the unnecessary rules and regs for Recreational R/Cers. It won't take much to have the FAA get a bee in their bonnet again. Of course all AMA members would be EXEMPT From this "TEST" by default because just buying to the AMA makes U much smarter than the average DRONE flyer.. oooooooooooooH this could cause a ruccues again. Sorry "NOT".
