    Friend of a Friend Fined $1800 no registration on drone..i have questions

    That's great news. However, I belive cCongress will pass a new law That one is news to me. But it won't last long. Congress will, in time, pass a law (remember, the FAA was a regulatory move) what with the use of sUAS by terrorists in the field. Stay vigilent and when Congress discusses this...
