How is tens of thousands of dollars in fines and jail time “unenforceable?” They’ve already laid out literally millions of dollars in fines on commercial drone operators.

“It’s not the $5. It’s the idea of being on yet another government list”

Yep, the FAA says the airspace above that private field is something they regulate. They also won’t allow him to fly a full size helicopter over that property without a license and registration either, even though it’s private property.

So as soon as they lay a giant fine on someone, everyone will rally, go to Washington and the FAA will back down?

“Airspace is not from the ground. It starts a ways up. I forget the exact height.”

“If I pay the tax to manufacture my own machinegun,”

“Nobody ever bothered to get a CB license, and that rule was the FCC’s face-saving gesture.”

Check Google Images for Sprout and Geotropism and Phototropism - lots of science fair project photos.

Until there are news headlines like “Drone Slices Toddler’s Eye In Half” and congress leans on them to do something about the “drone problem,” which is what happened.

Item #20:

“Requiring the operation of a machine on my own property to be taxed and registered by the federal government is neither a due process of law,”

“apparently Samsung thinks the future of dining is wearing photoshopping a virtual reality headset onto a picture of you while you’re eating.”

If they didn’t declare it, that would be a problem.

That will be hard to do, the FCC doesn’t issue or renew CB radio licenses anymore. They are licensed by rule. As long as you haven’t been issued a cease and desist order from the FCC, you’re eligible to use them.

“RC toy helicopters can be flown around with zero skill... Funny how these don’t need registration.”

Yeah, the FCC would never do anything like arresting someone for using a radio without a license...

“An adult flying it into a toddler’s head? you seriously think that is more likely to happen”

Q40. Is there a registration renewal requirement for UAS, like there is for manned aircraft?

Yes, If you register in the first $30 days, the fee that covers 3 years is refunded.

“What are they going to do, start suing kids for flying their toy around?”
