Go back and read it again. The UAS (aircraft) gets registered. Of course, the buyer
would be registered also.

That is not what that linked proposal says. It was going to register
"operators".
I still think the whole thing is ridiculous. As bad as the stupid idea
to log ammo sales, license CB operators or even to license everyone
with a marine VHF. All of those ideas were abandoned once they finally
realized the futility of it.

The legislation will have to end up being on behavior of the operator,
not the inanimate object. That will be a local ordinance if it is
going to work. What might make perfect sense inside the beltway would
be pretty silly out in the boonies where Harry lives.

Jeees. Here's the final recommendation, the link I posted.

http://www.faa.gov/uas/publications/....pdf?cid=TW373

Go to page 2 and read para 1:

1. Develop and recommend minimum requirements for UAS that would need to be
registered.

-Factors to consider include, but are not limited to: technical capabilities and
operational capabilities such as size, weight, speed, payload, equipage, and other
factors such as age of operator. "

That seems pretty clear to me.

This thread is only worthwhile if it is going to create problems for
you. Please advise.

Since it is essentially an unfunded program (the fee is 0.1 cents) it
affects you too as long as you pay taxes.



You did notice the word "worthwhile" in connection with Herring, right?
