Take a look at the Armattan F1 range,
http://www.armattanquads.com/f1-5/
They are as good as anything on the market with one major advantage - a lifetime warranty on the frame - if it breaks in a crash you get a new one free.
None of the other companies will give you that.
Full disclosure: I don't work for Armattan but have received one kit at no cost in exchange for doing a build tutorial of it for their website.

Things have changed since that 1946 decision don't you think? There also have been a number of SCOTUS decisions overturned.

US VS Causby has not been overturned, Mr. Causby was awarded money for the airspace the government took from him. The FAA is backing down on the AMA registration and will be using AMA numbers in the future. So yes they are backing down.

We don't know if that's a fact yet. Please stop spewing misinformation.

They are not going to "back down"...and what is "so few". Over 200,000 people registered so far. Not every "drone" sold has to be registered. And keep in mind those that don't register that should have, that are caught doing something stupid, will still have to face the consequences.

It seems like you are just making this stuff up sometimes, you have no idea how many of the people who registered are AMA members....c'mon. And the last numbers I saw from a drone trade group said 440,000 were sold, and again, not all of these need to be registered. Pitifully small or not, there will be no "backing down" by the FAA after all the time and effort they put into this registration. They would be hammered for doing something like that.

Oh I'll bet your right , they will refine it and change a thing or two , but "back down" ? meaning to drop the registration requirement because of how "few" have registered ? I think Sport is quite mistaken if he thinks the FAA will be backing down anytime soon . In fact , my guess is that in order to have our AMA # be recognized as our FAA registration number , the FAA likely wants 24/7 access to the AMA's membership records , which may be something the AMA doesn't want ?

Sport my Friend , on your last sentence , I pray your right but fear all the FAA needs to do is play the safety card and that will be that ...

The FAA didn't seem to care about SEC. 336 which is a law passed by Congress did they? All they need to do is play the "safety concern" card and it's done. Things have changed since that 1946 decision don't you think? There also have been a number of SCOTUS decisions overturned.
Just how are they "backing down"?

The only real answer to the real Problem the "Drones" flying "Where, When or How" they are not to be flown is "GEO-FENCING". With Geo-Fencing Built into every Quad/Multi-Rotor/Drone and all present drones must be retrofitted with Geo-Fencing where they won't even stat unless they are in an area
they are allowed to fly. The FAA must recognize that Traditional R/C TOYS i.e. Model Airplanes and the like are NOT the Problem Never were Never will be.

Caught being the important word here ... When those that don't register Crash they won't be caught because they don't have Registration on/in the R/C Drone, How do U catch them after they crash into something ... U don't.
Doggie turn on some of police show and watch. They're called witnesses.

And how are your going to force them to use geo-fencing software?
