Located in the frequently asked questions:
Q2: Does it cost anything to register?A. Federal law requires owners to pay $5 to register their aircraft. However, registration is free for the first 30 days to encourage speedy registration of UAS. During the first 30 days, you must pay $5 with a credit card and a $5 credit will appear shortly afterwards.
The credit "will appear shortly afterwards." Apparently, 6 days would be too soon.

Thanks. I did read the registration process.

Spent some time reading from pages 125 to current and do owe flight risk a answer.
I received a letter from one of the 10 FAA emails I have. This was talking about a company taking photos from 2 feet to 2000 ft in a town that has a active airport. Their site shows photos and videos.
the FAA still has the burden of proof (in a court of law) that a particular person, at this particular time, flew this particular UAS, in this particular hazardous manner. To get all of that from one video is difficult at best. We need to prove the person was at the controls and flying the craft is violation of regulations. Simply because a person states they flew a UAS at may not be, in and of itself, a violation.

On Heli vs quad your correct. Many points of failure on a quad. A heli or quad loose a motor = Game over and it will tumble down with no control
A hex like the DJI 550 with a Naza controller will slowly spin down to the ground. But the down fall using a 550 is flight time. But a great platform for video and photograph.

I think the oct that crashed hard was a very bad deal. I can't tell you it had a DJI controller. Can you and if it was a V2 then there is the issue. V2 max size is a 550.

According to the news the company with the drone required that a switch was setup so that if the op lost control they could flip the switch and the drone would fall straight down...
knowing what we know about large quads that seems unrealistic with the return to home feature.

I actually think the video should work for us. What are the odds that a drone is hovering and chasing a person closely for pictures/spying and yet with a catastrophic failure still misses the object. I bet you would get horrible odds at Vegas on that, completely opposite of what the news is trying to feed everyone.
