I think my multi-copter meets these requirements. I do intend to get my copter big enough to be manned someday, however it hasn't worked out yet. intended is sort of past tense. (I tried but it didn't work out, (O Well))
(a) Is used or…"

I kinda do have an issue with registration, soon as your registered, your information ends up in a database and not just the information you supplied, all the other information that can be retrieved by the use of your credit card when…"

It may have been called a near miss, but I don't know, however this would have been due to the pilots actions.
What if this same pilot had flown over my trap field while I had students or customers shooting clay and due to high db hearing…"

believe it or not most people have no clue about multi-copters and have never seen one, except on the news.

"No, it will not stop at $5, it never does. How about $$$ for air worthiness certificates.

"Lets see, my hexcopter in now Aircraft, if I crash it in my yard will the FAA show up, do a lengthy investigation to find the the cause of the crash, then send me a huge bill for the investigation ?"
"My guess is transponders will be the next step, since registration numbers are worthless unless you have the copter in your hands."
"The new V3508 motors arrived today. They look very nice. I'm not totally sure if they are real or fake yet. The engraving on the motor looks exactly like the pictures on the sunnysky web site, except the sunnysky website image shows KV: 700 II and…"
"sunnysky also has a efficiency chart for these motors that looks pretty good too.
After a lot of research I think I'm going with 12x4.5 props. I really wanted to go with 13 - 14 inch props with a 3 - 4 pitch but options are limited for using the…"

"Well, I do a lot of Ebay shopping and I have a feeling that these sunnysky v3508 are the real deal. These motors kinda amaze me that 6 v3508 motors on a 4S lipo can lift a little over 20 lbs with 13x4 props. any suggestion on the optimum prop size…"
"Ya, I crashed the hex the other day not to bad when I was doing my first flying/recording test with the FPV. The weather was changing and I was in loiter when the hex started to climb and drop about 10 feet a few times. It looked like it was going…"
"After reading your reply I spent the last few days researching and playing with different combinations on http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc.php.
Since 10" propellers are the biggest propellers that will fit the hex without raising 3 of the motors so…"

Have a couple issues I'm trying to sort out on a zippy flightmax 5000mah 20C lipo.I had an F450 quad running the battery with ok flight times and the battery was doing ok. I crashed the F450 due to mechanic error ( GPS fell off ).Now I've rebuilt…
"Sure, you can use lipo, life, nimh, nicd as long as you match the voltage of your current battery, have room for it to mount and don't have to much weight for your quad."
"Thank you for taking the time to give me some pointers.
I flew the Quad about an hour before the crash to a couple hundred feet and it flew and reacted as it should. So my guess is the servos were wired correctly. all the servo wires where…"
