    Problem is the number of people who don't follow those rules. It would be awesome if the manufacturers would start taping big hunter orange stickers to the units with these rules outlined. Maybe they have, I dunno.

    >> A. Unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds and more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams) on takeoff

    So if I buy a *huge* Goodyear blimp and set it up to be flown remotely, I don't have to register it since it's weightless at takeoff, right?

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    Just got my quadcopter rough calibrated. Waiting on my second GPS and landing gear. Guess I could setup the voice prompts in the radio while I wait.
    The evil black drone is almost complete. Haha

    I foresee a new launching technique... attaching balloons to the drone to get it airborne... then a release will untether them either on command, or when a certain altitude is reached... so the weight at takeoff is less than 0.55 Lb.

    It's to save battery life- yeah, that's the ticket!

    I should market this as a solution- name of the company could be like Foresight Unlimited For Aeronautical Assets... FUFAA for short!
