No, but I bet there are people posting here that are in communication with someone on the list.

Yes I watched it and there's absolutely no way on hell they can go back in time and do that. If you know how they can do it please tell you have my undivided attention.

No more difficult a task than to require every RC aircraft to be registered going forward. Both ideas are....unrealistic at best.

With this exception of Rich Hanson from the AMA, I'm not sure how many of the others on the list are accessible. I speak to Rich regularly when I see him at the various trade shows, but besides Brenden, I'm not sure how many are even remotely interested in model aviation.

If they force retailers to do so at the point of sale the paperwork would be "interesting". So many questions......................................... .

Many on the list seem to lean toward sales.

Time will tell. They have 2 years. I recently received my 2 year card and I know where they cut some expense.

What if....

I'm glad the sky will be falling again tomorrow. Something to look forward to. I hope all the "what if" folks recharge their batteries again for tomorrow.

Have you considered networking and potential new job opportunities? I hear the commercial stuff is where the big bucks are.

Your kidding right? Just how will that work? What they'll search every home looking for year old unregistered drones? Let me clue you in on something everything you listed has a title along with a traceable number on it. While some of the higher end "drones" have a serial number unless its registered for warranty with the manufacture it's untraceable. If this registration deal passes (which it probably will) then that's a different story.
Your starting to scare me with this crap.

Actually I'm retired I do the LHS gig part time to play with toys, get outta the house and to hang out with fellow modellers. I'll let you kids go after the big bucks to keep my checks coming.

Let me clue you in, they're not going to be searching homes for unregistered drones.

I think you're scaring yourself with the wild assumptions you repeatedly make day after day.

Real drones are just big toys. Come on, wouldn't a lot more $$$ be nice? Besides we need someone on the inside to do a little undercover work for us. Think about it and let us know us know tomorrow.
