Well,,,
dont know if i shoud say this,,,,
This whole thing, is just the dot.gov spending $$$ to TRY to control the few!
The registration thing does nothing to the bad guys, and makes a new bureaucracy.
Wouldn't it be enough to ask all good guy flyers, to write their, name, address,
and phone number on their "flying toys", so if it crashes in a yard, they get notified?
This alone would address the concerns the faa has, but doesn't create a new requirement
to build a whole new dot.gov bureaucracy, and the money to run it.
Bad Guy flyers will depend on simple anonymity to do the evil deeds,
they will fly unsafely and write off their flying toy loss, and nobody will
have a way to stop it!
BTW, I have a V666 quad, the nearest airport is 7 mi. at 500 ft msl,,
I live at 15 ft. msl, I have a range of ~400 t. but never let it get about 100 ft. away.
It weighs ~1/2 lbs,,, I have thought registration, for free, but also thought,,,
Its Really none of their business!
Really though,, If a TRAINED and licensed flyer runs his plane down to a place in front of my house, that he runs into it, he has broken more laws than I may may have broke.
