I understand that general concept, but I'm trying to figure out if I need to start over as if it was a new drone. I wouldn't think I'd have to because technically, even though I registered to fly as a hobbyist, the drone itself has also been registered with it's make, model and serial #. And this is the only drone I have registered, so it's not like I got out of a $5.00 charge just because I registered as a hobbyist. I've emailed the FAA to ask this same question, but my one other experience with contacting them tells me a reply might not be quick, if at all.Yes - as a hobbyist you basically register yourself. Under commercial operations you register each aircraft.
Hobbyist registration ($5) doesn’t ask for or require ANY details about a drone. No make/model, ser # etc. it only asks for your info thus you are registering yourself, not the aircraft.I understand that general concept, but I'm trying to figure out if I need to start over as if it was a new drone.

No, it was definitely the official sight. I just checked and apparently, I accidentally registered as a 107 user. I guess that's why I remembered inputting all of my drone info. So maybe my original question is irrelevant. I'm a little surprised that a person is allowed to register a 107 registration without proof of passing the test. Well, hopefully I'll actually have my license next week. Thanks for the help.Hobbyist registration ($5) doesn’t ask for or require ANY details about a drone.

Perhaps you registered on one of the FAA spoof sites?
You need to start over and register your drone on the 107 dashboard option if you're going to fly your drone under 107.I understand that general concept, but I'm trying to figure out if I need to start over as if it was a new drone.

You just need the 107 number on the drone. Do not display two different registration numbers on it.Hello, how are you doing ?
I have the same doubt about registration, so did you get a response from FAA ? I don’t know if I have to keep the recreational number and the commercial number stickers on the drones that I have. I got my certification last month and still waiting for the card. I know before each flight we can choose a recreational or part 107, so I guess I have to keep both numbers ?
I will appreciate any advice! Thank you and have a good day.

You can still choose to conduct a flight under the recreational rules even if the drone has a 107 registration number.
