No, it's not. More disinformation. It's a long read, but worth the time rather than jumping to conclusions.

Registration Fee:
Individuals intending to use the small unmanned aircraft
exclusively as model aircraft
•
$5 to register an individual’s fleet of small unmanned
aircraft.

I just read through the FAQ's. One states that you do not need to register each aircraft, that you will get an individual number (like an AMA number) to use on all of your aircraft.
It says there is no need to provide information about each specific model.
THEN, in the section about 'What if I sell my drone?' it says you should log in and update your information if you sell something. Update what? You didn't give them specifics about your 'drones' in the first place.
Somebody's not thinking clearly.

Whats next, asking for your papers at each street corner?
This no longer a free country!
We are being controlled more and more, when they decide you cant fly planes anymore they
will be banging on the door for your stuff, what ever they decide you cant have anymore.

If you read the rules that are up, all of us have to register unless your aircraft is under 0.55lbs.

Hunting..in limited situations..see duck stamp requirements. Two seater ultralights....
The question might also be asked as follows...what leisure hobby activity had the ability to adversely effect our national airspace like we see now?

Even though this is a bunch of horse *****. I will be putting up the initial $5 bucks to cover my bases. Even if they don't refund me back my $, it sure beats a possible $27,000 fine.
Everything comes down to liability.
Once again, the only people who will be registering would be the law bidding citizens. ;(

Tim: I am confused about this registration process. Below is a link that states model aircraft, flown for recreational and or hobby do not need to register.?? I don't think the FAA has read their own rules.

Again, old stuff. This was changed today. It's going to take a while to get the web pages updated.

Seems like the AMA or FAA should issue a statement to clarify exactly what is and what is not required.
Ohhhhhhhhhh wait, the FAA is a government agency and we already know that they don't know anything.
Really starting to wonder if the AMA does either.

The $5 charge is NOT the FAA's idea - it comes from the Office of Management and Budget. They report directly to .....(wait for it)..... the prez.
If you read the bible you will see many nagative references tot he tax collectors of old. The OMB is no different. If it's going to cost a government organization money it has to have some way to recover that expense. And OMB has final say on that determination.
Note that recovery can take many, many years which is why we have a multi-trillion dollar debt.

Just to put it all in one place:
Today's FAA news release announcing Interim Final Rule (IFR) : https://www.faa.gov/news/press_relea...m?newsId=19856
About half way down, there's a hyperlink to the registration website (which goes live on 21 December) : http://www.faa.gov/uas/registration/
One link there is a FAQ. The third link, "Registration and Marking Requirements for Small Unmanned Aircraft Interim Final Rule," is a link to the actual FAA document that establishes the policy that is the subject of the news release. It also discusses, in great detail, all the comments received as well as generally the FAA's reason for accepting or rejecting them.
