 The simple application of good old common sense, something that stopped happening in Government long ago.

Hey Sparky. I wanted to stop by and say i saw your video on the drone registration. I also wanted to say thanks for using my video with Wes Aekin Flying His super clown with my Nephew and our pastors so., That was awesome. You are dead on with all your statements on the registration.

Was at Harbor Freight yesterday to pick up some cheap brushes.   Seen the RC model P-51 and a helicopter.   I asked the clerk if she knew any thing the FAA  requiring registration by who ever by any of the RC models.  Nobody in the store knew any thing.   I too will have a radio set in my fun airplane that will have elevator controlled by lines.   The radio is just for throttle control.

If Regulation doesn't work - get an Eagle!

Sometimes low-tech solutions can turn out to be the most effective. Take, for instance, this example of using eagles to take down unruly drones.

In a new project to patrol the skies, the Dutch national police force has teamed up with ‘Guard from Above,’ a company that trains birds of prey to tackle drones. They aim to create a fleet of eagles that can take to the skies and prey on drones that infringe air space or hamper official operations such as emergency air ambulance landings. According to Guard from Above, the goal is to draw on the bird’s “hunting instincts” to make them hunt down drones.

A video released on Sunday on the Dutch police’s official YouTube channel shows an eagle making a beeline for a drone and grabbing it from above, before plonking it in the corner of an indoor training facility.

“The eagle sees the drone as its prey, so he tries to take it to a safe location and guard it once he gets there,” says Sjoerd Hoogendoorn from Guard from Above in the video.

the props on a multirotors can shred flesh,, easily,, especially larger ones
