Again, the concern is a 50% increase of drones, RC aircraft, etc.,
starting to be used within the next couple of months.

I also realize that enforcement of the registration requirement is
difficult. It probably would have made more sense to require
registration at the time of sale.

Or have the seller check for an AMA card prior to the sale. But, the AMA card is free
to those under 19, and there is no requirement that the kid knows any flight rules or
safety measures.

Then we would have the "drone show" loophole ;-)

These days anyone who can put am Ikea table together can make a drone
from parts and I already know a guy who is making money doing it. (he
works for my wife). Some of these are pretty sophisticated and still
less than $500 to build. (more properly "assemble" since it is all off
the shelf parts)

None of which have serial numbers, although I see there is no mention of registering
particular aircraft - only operators.

"Q. What information will I be required to provide on the FAA UAS Registration
website?

A. You must provide your complete name, physical address, mailing address, and an
email address. The email address will be used as your login ID when you set up your
account.

Q. Do I have to provide any information on my UAS?

A. Individual recreational users do not have to enter the make, model, and serial
number. All non-recreational users will be required to provide the make, model, and
serial number when the website is available to all other users."
