Most drone hobbyists are aware of the pending requirement that drones be registered - and this will included hobby aircraft.
A "task force" as been convened in order to figure out exactly how this requirement will be implemented.
Supposedly, a few task force members have anonymously mentioned that the new rule will require drones that weigh more than half a pound (that's about the weight of half a box of See's candies)to be registered via a web page, for free. Registrants will be required to provide his/her name and address; no "sensitive" information, such as Social Security numbers, will be required. Oh, and the drones themselves will have to display registration numbers that can easily be seen and read.
Given that most drones being sold in stores (and remember,the FAA estimates that over one million hobby drones will be sold during this holiday season) weigh more than half a pound, it should be interesting to see how many drone buyers will comply with the new rule.
