[NSRCA-discussion] Drone for (short) commutes

[Jon Lowe]

And NO REGISTRATION or markings of any kind required.  That's what makes model registration so ridiculous.

Any aircraft weighing under 247 lbs. requires no licensing to fly....unless carrying more than one person (pilot).  Ultralights fall into this category.

I'm not sure I would call it "manned" -- the user has no control other than telling it to "takeoff" and "pause flight" and "land"

Doesn’t this fall under experimental aircraft like all the other personal Heli’s and such?    It’s not a drone for sure… it’s a manned Quad-copter.

Can't wait to see what the FAA has to say about this one!  The 184 (1 person, 8 propellers, 4 arms) capable of 23 minute flights with a person up to 260lbs -- good for about a 10 mile commute.
