Fight new FAA "Outside Sticker" rule!

[DarthSLR]

FAA is going to force us to put the stickers outside the aircraft.

I would like to keep mine inside the battery compartment.

Here is what I sent to them:

"Please recall this new ruling and allow the sticker to stay inside the battery compartment, as long as such compartment does not require tools to open it. i.e. as per previous rules.

My reasoning:
1) outside stickers can affect aircraft balance/aerodynamics
2) outside stickers are subjects to the elements that can render them unreadable and would require constant maintenance.
3) due to the size of the small UAV it will not be possible to see those stickers from the ground when the UAV is in flight anyway. If the UAV is in hands, opening a battery compartment does not require any special effort.
4) in the event of a crash, an outside sticker is more likely to be damaged and rendered unreadable.

Thank you for your consideration!"

Submitted the same as you mention . All good reasons for not having to place the FAA registration and phone contact information on the outside of the Mavic.
