250 grams FAA limit

Hate to tell you GadgetGuy, but any drone at or over the 250 gram limit must be registered whether you're a (w)rec flyer or 107 licensed. I'm sensing that this drone community is a bunch of cowboys who really don't care to follow what's right or wrong, just what they want to do.

Here's the FAA site: FAA Recreational Drone Registration - DroneRegistration.com what is says is (for those that can read or want to read):

To fly under the exception for recreational flyers, you must:
  • Register and label your drone
  • Fly only for recreational purposes
  • Follow the safety guidelines of a community based organization
  • Keep your drone within the visual line of sight or use a visual observer
  • Give way and do not interfere with any manned aircraft
  • Get prior authorization before operating in controlled airspace
  • Fly at or below 400 feet in uncontrolled airspace
  • Comply with all airspace restrictions
  • Pass an aeronautical knowledge and safety test
  • Register and label your drone
Register (yourself as a hobbyist drone pilot) and label (ALL) your drone(s) with your pilot registration number. The drones themselves are never registered, as a hobbyist.
Call the FAA if you still don't believe it.
