Hey If it flies in the NAS the FAA want's to control it. Why U got Radio Controlled Foot Balls?

Then again you can strap a bomb to it and kick it into a crowd! And it meets the definition of aircraft!

Shhhhh.....can't divulge current projects. Suffice it to say, I'm working on "aircraft" built of balsa of course, valued at 6 figures, perhaps of the WW1 or lawn ornament style, to be released at NATS. A very elite endeavor, for the elite crowd of course.

Doubling down, nice!

I Think U might have at least an Magnum or old K$B 1.20 on it and maybe one of them Spektrum radios to Qualify. Ya know nutten to spencive.

6 Figures ... PASOS? LOL OH U include the cents too.

Seeing the bird damage what is FAA doing bout that?? I saw a goose the other day trying to register but he had a bad credit card! Anything can cause accidents.. If anything all these forums have shown this.. Stats are thrown out randomly.. But if you stand back and look.. You can't control everything.. You can try.. But just like in jurasic park... Nature will find a way...lol..

Now ya gave the FAA another thing to worry about FLYING DINOSAURS Geese.

Walden, NY That's way up in the boon docks 60 miles North of Newark airport. No traffic up there is there.

even commas count!

So, if I put gas bags filled with helium or hydrogen in my plane so it weighs less than .55 pounds, do I need to register it?

Wait...is this one of those "what weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold" riddles?

Don't believe so 250 Grams is 250 grams.

Remember this one? Which weighs more a pound of Lead or a Pound of feathers.

Man the wind is gusting to 18 today ... Still there's gota be something better than talk'n stupid here LOL.

Great minds and all....hahah...but I like gold!

Anybody remember what all the arguments were about 6 months aga....I Mean before these Drone things and FAA crap all started ... Guess Not. Must not of been very important OH Well good thing fer Drones else we would have nutten to argue over.

Coke versus Pepsi
Ford versus Chevy
Futaba versus Spektrum?

Hard to remember...so many arguments.

That's the ONE Futaba vs Junk radios ...
Man I'm gona start a war here LOL.....That was more fun anyway.

Gonna? You already did, have, and been doing so! LOL


BTW an ounce of gold weighs more than an ounce of feathers, by about 10%, but a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold.

So, if I have an RC dirigible that weighs less than .55 ounces, and is BLOS, does that mean I don't have to register? See where I'm going? Lighter than air drones!!!! Lets see the FAA figure that one out.

And let's not forget , a pound of poo weighs more than your pound of gold , when one considers the gravity of the stink !

They do say with every thing aboard when it takes off right?
There is another one Who weights more on the INSS International Space Station a Russian Cosmonaut or an American Astronaut? Hint Waitless

On the first question ... I would say it's a trick question because They both weigh the same, a Pound is a Pound as is an Ounce is an ounce.

So we must be polishing off the last of the New Years libations I see!!!!

Likely no different than any other day.

HD: this thread was started over 1 year ago, and there were plenty of arguments about this very subject.

Well, gold is weighed by the Troy ounce, which is 10% heavier than a standard ounce, but a Troy pound is only 12 ounces, where a standard pound is 16 ounces.

LOL, what definition of aircraft are you using? It doesn't meet the definition accepted by ICAO.

Aircraft*. Any machine that can derive support in the atmosphere from the reactions of the air other than the reactions of the air against the earth’s surface.

I'll give U that even but we weren't speaking of gold but
we were comparing Lead to feathers. Quote "Which weighs more a pound of Lead or a Pound of feathers".And so we have 16 ounces to a pound and 128 ounces to a gallon ... Now how much does a Gallon weigh.
