[NSRCA-discussion] FAA Registration begins December 21

[Jon Lowe]

I just checked the rules on ultralight aircraft, which can carry people. (https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/aviation-communities-and-interests/ultralights-and-ultralight-aircraft/getting-started-in-ultralight-flying/about-faa-part-103-for-ultralights) 
No registration or markings are required. No operators permit or medical is required. 
I guess "drones" are more dangerous than an ultralight. Total insanity.
