FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

Good one! I am not a citizen (yet), so I can't register...

And you can't legally fly after 21 Dec

When it was talked about on MSM news tonite it was all drones, where was AMA? Why have they not been out trying to educate public between model aircraft and drones, and also what sUAS groups all aircraft together

Psssst, under the canopy is clearly visible.......no hatch required

Well probably just going to print the "tenieist ,tiniest" little bitty number I can make and attach it to the instrument panel so it will look like a moded up GPS device.

It appears that the full scale pilots are none too keen on us being part of FAA either. Please post on the FAA web page with comments as you see fit. I posted my thoughts on the matter:

Very well said Terry, too bad AMA couldn't explain it as well

I am going to cancel my AMA before they automatically sign me up for the license. I would advise people not to register until we see how this pans out.

That's cuz I don't give a rats arse about drones and even more so now. AMA has a fresh and growing revenue source. Now that has probably bit them in the ass because they are going to see lots of lost membership I think. Really really sad.

Call and demand your money back for next years membership. I am. They are closed now but right away when they open I will cancel.

Also as a little side note, the same people that are writing these regs are the same ones that have told me I have to maintain a full sized aircraft in airworthy condition, then failed to define airworthiness ( would not let faa people writing regs put definition in FAR definitions) instead these old timers didn't like this sh!t and put it in advisory circular on aircraft repair and alteration

I've said all I care to say on this for now so I will now sit down, shut up and hang on and watch.

Screw the FAA, screw the AMA, I said that three years ago. Been flying on private property, screw 'em all....
