David, Do we Americans have to worry about the Canadian government being as crazy as our American government relative to model airplane registration crap? I hope your government is a little more reasonable.
Thanks,
Larry Fitch

No, Larry......I think you can relax a bit once you get north of the border :-)

No drone control here yet, but it's probably coming. Hopefully it is managed slightly better than the FAA debacle. It would be difficult to do it any worse!

(By the way, we Canadians still can't register unless we do it with a US credit card from a US IP address)
