I love the " make them register them" as a " solution to the misuse of drones.
I have FAA registration numbers on all of my RC aircraft that were called as being required to be registered ( they have since dropped the requiirement).
Why?? I have built and flown radio controled aircraft for almost 40 years. I have built hundreds of fixed wing aircraft - many of my own design. I' ve flown helicopters since before the advent of computer radios. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on the hobby - but in recent years - much less - as I have gotten good enough that crashes are now a rarity rather than the norm. (I recently retired one sport plane that flew 15 years - with the same propeller. )
I have always done my best to ensure that my aircraft were flown in as safe a manner as possible. It' s simply too expensive to do otherwise.
So - I have to register my equipment - because some cunt wants to cause mayhem with a machine that he will likely never register.
[Sarcasm]
Fuck yeah - that always fixes the problem!!!.
