Wish I had the time and the knowhow, mostly the time.

In that case start simple. DJI Phantom. Hands down most user friendly and easy to fly with gps, return home, failsafe, and lots of other features. Buddy just bought a Phantom 2 basic new for $500 ready to fly. If you can go more expensive I'd personally get the Phantom 3 Advanced. Better range and camera.
I have so many because I race, and I'm not very good at racing, so I crash alot. When I crash and break something I just grab another.
Model Aircraft: A model aircraft is a small sized unmanned aircraft or, in the case of a scale model, a replica of an existing or imaginary aircraft.
Drones are model aircraft. The FAA overstepped their bounds. Appeals court rightfully interpreted the law and came to the only possible conclusion on this. If the Congress, which makes the laws in this country, wants to create a law requiring registration, they can do that. Bureaucrats at the FAA should not.
This is a model airplane
This is a drone
They both fly in the air.
You can't seriously tell me they're the same.
I'm thinking of a product that looks like a fishing treble hook, weighs a couple ounces so you can cast it some distance and the hooks somehow collapse if it does not initially grab something.
Then you rig up 4 or 6 inexpensive fishing poles, and if a drone is over your property, there's no law against practicing casting on your own property. If you hook one, reel it in and fillet/pan fry in butter!
It required a unique number on it with a way if I had a complaint, it may be traceable to the owner.

So I assume you are for registering firearms. Lord knows we have way more gun crimes that was way more serious to the public instead of drones.
Yes, anything with a number is traceable if you can get your hands on it and it is registered. The problem is not what can be done but what Congress approved. The way I read the law, it clearly said that the FAA could pass no such rules for private use.

Who has ever said they are the same? I missed that post unless you are talking about the definition of model aircraft.
What gives the FAA more authority to regulate one over the other under the definition of private use? Is it the camera? Maybe Congress should regulate cell phone cameras and audio recorders.
The problem the court saw was not that something might not need regulating. It might. People are trying to make arguments over dangers and needed regulations. The only problem is that the FAA was never given that authority. To the contrary, I read the law Congress passed and it said that the FAA cannot regulate it.
I have the feeling that if this was anything other than drones and a federal agency tried to pass their own laws without congressional approval (like the EPA did trying to regulate firearm ammo), the same people complaining over this court ruling would be raising 9 kinds of heck saying government overreach.
