Todd here from Minneapolis. Awaiting my trainer kit so my son and I can get in to the hobby. (C-17 with the three foam aircraft and the second set of controls). I've spent years tinkering with aircraft virtually (X-plane mostly), but I wanted to get in to something more substantial.
Reading through all the rules, finding anywhere in the city of Minneapolis is pretty much a non-starter as a hobbiest. I was reading up on Rule 107 and thought I might go down that road just to get in 'under the radar' so to speak and fly closer to home. But this is costly and raises a couple questions.
Questions:
-If I have a Part 107 cert, does my son need one also if we fly in a local park that I determine would be allowed for me to fly but he wouldn't? (he is 17)
-As I understand it, if I'm 107 certified, I need to register all of my drones individually. Or is it I need to register each commercial drone individually? Maybe I'm reading it wrong. If I'm not wouldn't Flight Test have to spend a fortune on all their drones they build to be in compliance? I'm not finding the verbiage that clarifies it.
Planes should arrive Tuesday (crossing fingers). Back to reading.
