It seems the third time was a charm and I got an answer that may not make many hobbyists very happy. Fortunately for hobby flyers, the Academy of Model Aeronautics announced to its members yesterday that it's exploring all legal and political means to stop the registry. In the meanwhile, it's asking its members to hold off registering. If you're concerned about what data will be made publicly available, you might consider holding off registering to give the AMA a chance." - - - Wow. Just wow. REF: Privacy Nightmare: Own a Drone?
