FAA Drone Registration was announced this morning, Monday the 14th of December 2015. Check out the FAA website for more info: faa.gov/uas/registration/faqs
Some points I didn't cover in the video:
- Registration is free in the first 30 days. After that, the fee will be $5.
- You can register multiple drone at once for $5 total. No need to register each drone individually, if you own multiple.
- Businesses still need to register using the paper method.
- You probably only need to register if you intend to fly your drone. I can't imagine storing a drone being illegal.
- The FAA recommends calling the police if a drone crashes in your yard, but doesn't mention consequences. Probably a good idea to get permission before flying over someone's property, in case you crash. Consequences unknown.
Finally, if you saw that gram scale and you're wondering where you can get one, you're in luck:
