A LITTLE RANT:

The function of a bureaucracy (def.) - a multifaceted administrative and regulatory agency (like say, the FAA), whose primary purpose is to make its subordinated users feel like a pirate who had a steering wheel stuffed in his pants and said: "Arrr, it's driving me nuts".

The thrill and fun of flight have been dulled by the hammer of over-enforcement from poorly-worded over-broad FAA regulations; which are "rubber-stamped" by administrative law judges along with the full board of the NTSB. No wonder airline pilots take up sailing as a hobby, rather than flying. Their license and career are on the line if they run afoul of any (real or perceived) infraction of FAA Regulations.

And now - the DRONES! Welcome, modelers, to the umbrella of the Federation Against Airplanes Amazon, UPS, Fed Ex, et al are pushing for legislation to allow them to deliver packages by ----- drones.

The FAA will regulate ALL drones (over half a pound in weight). There will be:

Mandatory registration.

Sticking your 'N' number on your drone.

Installing a 'remote ID' thingee (sorta like a "mini ADSB out transmitter).

Being approved by some local "community group" where there are locations and limitations in which you may operate your drone.

If for ANY reason you receive ANY compensation, whether invoiced or placed under your pillow from the "YouTube Fairy" while you were sleeping, there will be a requirement to be certificated as a "drone pilot" (or UAS pilot, or whatever). These requirements will be spelled out in the recently released Part 107 of FAA Regulations.

In the meantime, young, aspiring aviators can still experience the thrill of flying fixed-wing model aircraft, even in the apparent incoming IMC.
