Which will last all of 3 flights before you have to spend real money on batteries that will last.

If anyone believes this then just wow!!!! let me put it this way; you would probably get off easier if you were involved in a hit and run and charged with a DWI!!! Go to jail because I didn't pay 5 bucks and give the FAA my name and address that they already have anyway!?!?!?! Some of you actually believe this and that is exactly how the gov't likes it. Scare tactics indeed! I'm not scared, and i'm not registering.

I'm ashamed of this person for this post. These gentleman have done much for the hobby over the years. I don't think they deserve this type of disrespect. Whatever has happened over the last couple years, these guys are NOT the enemy. I thank them for their, in many respects, thankless service to us modelers, and hope they will be able to go on enjoying the hobby they love and contributing in other ways. I also believe that to come to this decision, they must conclude that their is better representation in the ranks, waiting and willing to step up to the plate. I'm confident that there is and look forward to finding out who they are, and what approach they will take to dealing with the FAA, the single biggest issue facing us right now IMO.

again, thank you Bob and Dave,

Really? That's weak. Have six flights on one, five on the other - so far.

What's the beef with HK? I've had exceptionally good results with their components.

I see one good thing, for the AMA at least. In a few years the registration fee will make AMA membership look cheap!

Registration It's Free Fast & Easy What more could any guy want.

I can go commercial I already have my Pilot Certificate can U afford 29 grand for yours just to fly R/C Toys. That's what's going to happen if U and others don't accept the FAA's easy out. Sceew with the FAA and they will really stick it to ya/us. Look at their Interpretation of #336 if U need proof.After telling congress to more or less to Stuff it Congress hasn't said a word. Have they?

dont worry Obama is a doosh,and he has ruined every branch of the military and government, and they will certainly not be able to ban drones ie just like guns,i went to gander mountain on sun and the gun dept was so busy that you had to take a number and wait to be called on,
There will be the same adverse affect on rc,the more u govern it, the more is to be had.and the FAA does not have that much of a taskforce to send people searching for non registered drones, even police, every county in every state is losing or letting go of police officers,
As seen the FAA only comes out after the fact.
Not going to register, and not going to play in to their politics, good luck on finding me tearing it up on a friends 50acre farm somewhere with the biggest and loudest gas 3d 30 lb plane I can find,,
Peace, out
Stoner,

I believe we should use the AMA # otherwise there will be two different sites to connect the necessary information

The argument that registering is easy is pathetic. Why would it not be easy? If it were not made to be easy, and seem harmless, then nobody would do it. This is a primrose path we are being led down I believe, and also illustrates that the FAA is a rogue agency, overstepping it 's bounds. Trying to assert that it has more authority than it does. Not to mention they are lowly staffed, and have little to no ability to enforce "their" rules. A line in the sand moment for me here for sure. If they got a problem with it, then they can take it up with me personally. Meanwhile I will fly my planes, and if they or anyone else has a problem with it then they can jam it. Anyone that decides to confront me personally will wish they had not.

There is no mechanism to access the database to check sUAS registration information yet, not even within the FAA.

You get a feel for the posts in these threads over the years. That one was designed to incite by the OP.
