A Frisbee is a flying disc made exclusively by the Whamo corporation, whose trademark is "Frisbee". It cannot be used to describe a disc made by another company. A proper flying discs or golf discs are manufactured by reputable companies, using high quality materials, and excellent designs which create flight shapes which are described by the disc's Flight Rating Numbers, such as 3 4 0 2. The numbers represent the rim width (3 - higher is bigger), glide (4 - higher is better), stability (Negative is understable, 0 is stable, positive numbers are overstable) and fade (2 - 0 is straight, higher numbers mean more radical fade).

Great video Ken. As you said the free flight glider doesn't need to comply and the idea would be silly. BUT, I've been thinking recently about what if a 107 person also flies rubber power free flight duration models and uses a radio controlled dethermaliser as some do. Now we DO have a stick and tissue model of very light weight that WOULD have to carry a remote ID I believe.
I actually have model aircraft above 250g which need registering and I have felt so intimidated about it (as well as getting the license) that I just didn't fly them for the past 3 years. School stress didn't help it either. This was fun though I wanna try that xD
Yep, I have a model airplane (six-foot wingspan, gas engine) that I'll likely never bother to finish at this point. RID is a crock. If it was for safety they'd have leaned hard on the holder of the ADS-B patents and made it possible for small cheap use of the correct protocol & system.
I loved it. But also, it makes me cry inside. Our country has become a joke. I said this in 2005, that once the USAF started calling drone operators as pilots, that little by little a paper airplane would need a tail number, transponder and a type rating and FAA license.

FAA registrations have gone up 500% since this video. In related news, the FAA has announced that since it now projects a budget surplus this year, employees will enjoy a free pizza lunch every Friday.
I've actually been curious about the kite issue since I have a kite that weighs over 250g and it can actually pick me up off the ground. I'm also wondering when NFL quarterbacks and MLB players are going to have to get their part 107.
I think the MLB and NFL are off the hook on this. They are launching their craft INSIDE of a building (yes even open air stadiums youd be technically "inside"... the real menace to society though are those folks out in the parking lot tailgating and throwing that missle waiting for the brats to grill up
@@danhouse7565 In Europe (idk about the USA) any building which isn’t totally closed off to the outside world is considered outside. So if you for example open a door in your house, your house is considered to be part of the surrounding sky. It’s an absolute mess.

I just had a bit of back and forth with the FAA (I took a couple of tries before I was able to clearly define my question) As a Part 107 pilot, the only UASes that need to be individually registered are those that are flown under Part 107. Those that I fly purely for recreation need only the "Group" registration - i.e. the single shared registration number.
You can’t screw in a light bulb or flush your toilet with out the feds involvement, or go to work or hold church services during an “ emergency “ . How long and how far is this going to go ?
Great video. This does bring up a legit question for model free flight. I guess if you stay within VLOS you're fine, even if you can do nothing about it! 😂
That was hilarious. I hope you recover the investment. And hey! The frisbie and kite drones kind of flew too with the extra weight. Jokes aside, it seems that the model plane aficionados in some countries are ranting against the stupid licenses that they are now being subjected just to fly their planes for fun. They better not do videos or they'll have these problems too!
What a complete kerfuffle⚠️😲😳 Same story here in the UK with the CAA..... I honestly doubt plastic 'toys' flying at tree top level or below should even be required to be regulated by the FAA or CAA. I'd much rather they concentrate on manned aviation. I don't see the Department for Transport wanting to regulate RC cars or off road RC buggies?😲⚠️😳

Government employees making tules and regulations affecting potentially millions of people, requiring increased staffing to administer - and yet it is blatantly obvious they have no practical understanding of what they are legislating about. Great video 🤣👍🇦🇺
Ken you never fail to make me laugh no mater what kind of day I’m having… this is why I keep coming back!😂 thanks!
Very funny! You come up with some good stuff Ken.
I love your energy, thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome
Yeah. And I didn't think any Gov dept. could get WORSE than the FCC. Good job at lowering the bar, FAA.
Sold all my drone gear to a guy who hadn't figured out he won't be able to fly it - - anywhere.
Yes as far as I can tell the FAA permit doesn't give you rights to fly anywhere, so what good is it?
This makes a great point when arguing for SHIELDED OPERATIONS for model aircraft and drones.
Great video, some of the FAA rules are just ridiculous 😂. I'm a private pilot but do a little bit of RC flying as well. I know that with a private pilot certificate it's super easy to get a part 107 certificate, but I worry about things like this where maybe I'll actually be more liable with a 107
Was hoping to see you fly the spoon. 😂😂
And this is why I sold all my planes, my dji drone and my helicopter (as well as my spectrum DX9). This hobby is now in the trash
This is an absolute gem
FAA registrations have gone up 500% since this video. In related news, the FAA has announced that since it now projects a budget surplus this year, employees will enjoy a free pizza lunch every Friday.
I've actually been curious about the kite issue since I have a kite that weighs over 250g and it can actually pick me up off the ground. I'm also wondering when NFL quarterbacks and MLB players are going to have to get their part 107.
I think the MLB and NFL are off the hook on this. They are launching their craft INSIDE of a building (yes even open air stadiums youd be technically "inside"... the real menace to society though are those folks out in the parking lot tailgating and throwing that missle waiting for the brats to grill up
@@danhouse7565 In Europe (idk about the USA) any building which isn’t totally closed off to the outside world is considered outside. So if you for example open a door in your house, your house is considered to be part of the surrounding sky. It’s an absolute mess.
Finally, someone made sense of it all.
Ken, Your crazy.. but what a great way to show how the FAA works..
*you’re
@@choahjinhuay (Thanks for your correction, but bite me….
The most commonly told lie on the internet is, "I have read the terms and conditions...."
Thanks Ken
for Exposing Gov
HYPOCRICY
More fun than what a guy should be allowed to have. The FAA will, surely, find a way to put a stop to that fun.
You missed a balloon on a string! and the tether counts towards total weight ! Yes the faa tried to outlaw balloons.
Balloons new rid
Just get a full size paraplane or hot air balloon and you wont need anything. But they are not dangerous like smaller radio controlled models.
I didn't know I needed that laugh ! Good one, well played sir ! And you might be histories first FAA legal and certified kite flyer ! Take off just needs a little work, maybe more runway ? 😉
I just had a bit of back and forth with the FAA (I took a couple of tries before I was able to clearly define my question)
As a Part 107 pilot, the only UASes that need to be individually registered are those that are flown under Part 107.
Those that I fly purely for recreation need only the "Group" registration - i.e. the single shared registration number.
OMG! The FAA will for sure recruit you as their new director! Well done!
You can’t screw in a light bulb or flush your toilet with out the feds involvement, or go to work or hold church services during an “ emergency “ . How long and how far is this going to go ?
Watch out Ken you almost caused a passenger jet to crash with that kite 😂
This is absolutely hilarious! Exhibit A for "NOT GETTING PART 107"
What if the Frisbee goes beyond VLOS? Will a Karen report you? (Just wondering.)
No doubt.
She's talking with my manager right now...
I wonder how many frisbee-related injuries go unreported to the FAA each year.
VLOS? whats that?
@@yfbb1 visual line of sight, meaning you can see what ever it is you're flying with you own eyes (no screens, fpv or binoculars)
Wait, are you talking about throwing a Frisbee without a visual observer? Kids these days!
I loved this idea! Strike of genius
Great video. This does bring up a legit question for model free flight. I guess if you stay within VLOS you're fine, even if you can do nothing about it! 😂
Air Hogs are no longer legal.
Malicious Compliance.
I LOVE IT!!
Fantastic work!
Now did i see a charge of $5 for the balsa plane to be "Added?"
Suddenly i am beginning to understand RID
😂😂😂 you're the best ever drone activist on the planet 😅😅
Thank you
Love it.
Better legal than safe!
This had no right to be as funny as it was. Subscribed ❤
Thank you!
What about paper airplanes? 😂
Anything that flies
5:55 you have to log that crash with the faa and get it recertified also a full blown faa investigation is required now
An unregistered piece of dust blown in the wind. Now the faa is investigating.
That was hilarious. I hope you recover the investment. And hey! The frisbie and kite drones kind of flew too with the extra weight.
Jokes aside, it seems that the model plane aficionados in some countries are ranting against the stupid licenses that they are now being subjected just to fly their planes for fun. They better not do videos or they'll have these problems too!
Good video ken cheers and happy flying man!
Thanks 👍
What a complete kerfuffle⚠️😲😳
Same story here in the UK with the CAA.....
I honestly doubt plastic 'toys' flying at tree top level or below should even be required to be regulated by the FAA or CAA.
I'd much rather they concentrate on manned aviation.
I don't see the Department for Transport wanting to regulate RC cars or off road RC buggies?😲⚠️😳
🤘🇬🇧🤘
Great video. I love the narration and the concept.
☺️
This is what never ending far reaching regulations look like.
Do I need to pre-register a sneeze, or just retrospectively? What about a cough, or worse?
What about the spoon!!!!
Had a fly away with the spoon. Not sure where it went.
@@KenHeronreport the crash to the faa
Love your creative ability to point out the absurd. LOL!
Not sure if you had the fun you expected, when trying to fly these "200% legal drones" but we sure had when watching you, lol.
Thank you so much for the laughs!!!
This was hilarious and truly a great illustration of our dumb ass government!!!!!
You my sir, are a comedic genious!
If only they'd take your point. We're sick of fees, being licensed, and taxed to death. They're slowly taking away all our rights "for safety".
Gun owners: "First time?"
So by this theory, do I need to register with the FAA the soil I throw onto my lawn? What about the water from the garden hose used to water my plants? Sheesh so many things entering US airspace I didn't even know!!
The air needs to be registered.
