5 Multirotor's Under 250 Grams

In December 2015 the FAA also known as the Federal Avaition Administration sent out a press release that would dramtically change the landscape of RC model avaition.  The FAA concluded that

"a streamlined, user friendly web-based aircraft registration process for owners of small unmanned aircraft weighing more than 250 grams (0.55 pounds) and less than 25 kilograms (55 pounds)."

There has been many concerns since this implentation has been in place.  Some of them include : do I need to a register a toy drone?,  how will this make the hobby more safe and what can I actually buy without having to register anything?  Well we would love to help answer that last question.
