FAA Registration. Selling my already registered drone!

I found more registration confusion on the FAA site.

Fly under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft

Fly under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft

To fly under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft you must:

• Fly for hobby or recreation ONLY
• Register your model aircraft
• Fly within visual line-of-sight
• Follow community-based safety guidelines and fly within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization
• Fly a drone under 55 lbs. unless certified by a community-based organization
• Never fly near other aircraft
• Notify the airport and air traffic control tower prior to flying within 5 miles of an airport*
• Never fly near emergency response efforts

It doesn't say "Register as a drone user." It says "Register your model aircraft." However, there does not appear to be a method for registering a drone under Section 336.

Is this possibly and old rule?

I think that statement is for model aircraft. Are drones considered models?

Are drones considered models?

Yes.

Thanks to all for this information. I just recently received my 107 certification and am hoping to use my MPP commercially in the near future. I was not aware that a drone used under 107 needed an individual registration, and had both my MPP and hobby drone using the same number. I quickly fixed that after reading through this thread.
