AMA believes that registration makes sense at some level, but has pushed for a more reasonable threshold. While we address these issues, members will be legally required to comply with the FAA registration requirement." Glad I wasn't one of the those who wrote FAA for a refund and cancellation of my number. But, I have to admit I've not been doing much flying lately anyway! I got my number for free during the initial offering but I don't have a drone yet. I am still not sure why I want one.. My drone is a $13 indoor copter. Fun, and the grandkids like it. At my boat storage yard, a guy was playing with his quad copter. Really nice unit. He said it is limited to 4000’ but will go to 6000’. Says the software and GPS will not let it fly in to FAA restrictive areas. But was a $5000 rig. |
