For all those Model Aircraft hobbyists out there, this is a reminder. If you haven’t already noted, the FAA UAS registration is coming up soon in February. An early registration deadline is January 21, although I had read somewhere that it was Jan 19. The FAA will refund the $5 registration fee if the registration is completed by the Jan 21 date.

The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) is still working with the FAA to figure out the modalities of the ruling. Personally, I find it redundant that AMA members who are committed to a safety code, and have to abide by AMA regulations, have to follow another registration process; but that is just my opinion. For now, the ruling holds and registration is required by the deadline.

Just a reminder to all of us RC Modelers to note the dates and complete registration.
