    Are you guys registering your Phantoms?

    I seriously don't get the belittling of people ON both sides FROM both sides. The near future will reveal where this is headed. Why do people on each side of this issue feel the need to convince the other side. Or "be right" about their views on it. Like I said, the future of "registration" and...

    FAA Registration Rules Announced NOW

    Wow. Just wow. I'm planning on taking back my 3 week old P3P now. Not really because of having to register now, but where it will lead to in the future. I bought this to take video of family trips, but my thought is that within a year or two fees will ratchet up (how high, who knows) and the...

    FAA regs for beginners

    I think you guys are missing the point about AMA. Of course part of what the AMA promotes is safe flying, et all, but it also provides a good amount of insurance. Which most individuals don't have when operating their quad....
