My little racing drone is certainly carbon fiber but it weighs a couple hundred grams.

DJI phantoms, last model I saw is built of plastic.

There hasn't been a recorded plane v drone crash that I've seen documented (the last one that hit the news ended up being birds).

Regardless the rules say under 400', not within 5 miles of an airport and some other locations.

I'm not opposed to a drone 'license plate', I'm all for fining or jailing people that are flying these things near the white house. I'm seeing a lot of hysteria right now triggered by some jackasses who can't be responsible with their toys.
