Your registration should be good for 3 years. Registration shows an expiration 3 years from the date you registered.
Just followed the FAA link - not that it applies to me -
But has anything change or has the FAA link not been updated.
Reads to me that as long as you follow certain rules, then you dont need to register ?

Where do you read that?
It doesn't say that.
It specifically says ...
UAS Registration
If you do not operate exclusively under the Special Rule for Model Aircraft, you must:
- Register your UAS if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds
- Label your UAS (PDF) with your registration number
- Read and understand all safety guidelines
I read it in the FAA link that another member posted in this thread.
It certainly does say that, if you go to the bit i linked about 'Special Rule for Model Aircraft'
Which was the point i was talking about and wondering if even with Trump signing, is there the still going to be a ' Special Rule for Model Aircraft ' ? which i imagine quite a few members could use if they are happy flying to those rules
Having to register at least required you to visit the FAA registration website, which presented you with a list of rules and guidelines. If you learned nothing from that process then either you already knew that stuff or you paid no attention to the information presented. If the latter, then I doubt a brochure would have worked any better.

This does not overturn Public Law 112-95, Section 336 (the Special Rule), which only prevented the FAA from promulgating new rules impacting recreational flight. It did not prevent Congress from promulgating new rules, which they just did - a new rule requiring registration.
So this new law, it only requires registration. No other flight rules were included, correct?
400'AGL still a "recommendation" or no?

It should have to be disclosed on the packaging that you have to register under FAA rules. Simple as that. You can not expect the average Joe buying his kid a toy to know or even look for this. Yes I know this thing isn't a toy by any means. Wow I gotta study for that 107 now! I can make some serious side money with this toy.Maybe they could put some common sense in the box too, alongside the brochure, maybe a course of anti stupid pills too
But seriously, your idea makes sense, far more than the registration idea - which a lot people wont bother with anyway-
Plus many who buy a drone, may not see it any different to say buying an RC Car or boat and may not realze there are rules/laws so a brochure seems a sensible way to educate and hopefully for some once they know there are rules they will look into it more and understand its not a fly wherever you like toy
Well actually it is still "toy grade" even though many of us use it for more than just fun & leisure.
Don't quit your day job too soon because it's not quite as easy to make "serious money" as you might think. Keep things in perspective and take it one day at a time.
Nah, its easy to make money
- you just need to know the right person and get his John Hancock on a bit of paper -
the FAA are managing to do it..... $5 a head all for apparently doing FA is pretty serious money

They don't want to do business with you, they want your name in a database and you have to pay $5.00 for the privilege of giving it to them.
