Anyone Failing To Register Their Quadcopter With The FAA.....

No, that's just paraphrasing a line from "Cool Hand Luke".

I'm ready to register my new Hubsan X4.

Some people think that AR means Assault Rifle.

It doesn't.

AR stands for Armalite, the manufacturer of the AR-15.

I have a Remington 700 sporting rifle that uses .223 ammo, the same as the AR 15.

More like the original inventor/designer. He was never able to get a contract from the government and had run out of money. Colt then bought the rights, made a few tweaks and started selling tons of them.

I just noticed how the registration has changed. When I signed up originally they had a DIY option. Says mine expires 12-12-2020. Back then one number would cover all your drones. The new clowns in charge continue to stick it to the little guys.

Here's a link to the FAQ on drone registration:

Q25. If I own multiple drones, do I have to register them all?

A. No. You may register once and apply the same registration number to all your UAS.

Said those that don't reside in the USA. All others shall comply or receive a suite in Fort Leavenworth. Ain't a holiday there as I understand.
 
So wait a minute, we're now supposed to register each aircraft? When did that change? I was still going under the assumption that one number covered all my drones.
 
I noticed this line on the web site Jackson published:

Register your aircraft using this website if it weighs more than 0.55 lbs. (250 grams) and less than 55 lbs. (25 kg).

Notice that weight range, over 1/2 pound to 55 pounds. I don't have a drone that weighs over 1/2 pound. So, do I have to register? I don't know...

One registration for all aircraft is still the requirement. Any aircraft subject to registration is supposed to have your FAA number on it.

No...if the flying weight is < .55 lbs, you aren't required to register.

Thanks for the correction, Jackson.

Well, I registered anyways. Better safe than sorry. Besides I may get one of those 54.999 lb drones for the hell of it. Imagine the size of the battery needed to lift that baby.
