If the drone is lost and someone finds it later, the information on the outside might be compromised due to the elements.

Put Your Contact Information on Your Drone...

One of my posting from years gone by... (An oldie, but still a goodie...)

Thread 'Put Your Contact Information on Your Drone...'

Oct 18, 2021

I just do not get it…

Why, oh why would folks who spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars on a Drone, not put their contact information on it. You know, at least Your Phone Number…

I acquired really nice, high quality stickers for FREE with my information on them, FAA Registration Number, and Phone Number, from the "Pilot Institute", their YouTube Video is:

and their Web Site to order is:

Free Drone Registration Stickers

I can imagine so many reasons why someone wants to remain anonymous, all of them nefarious…

However, for all the good folks who respect...

These labels do not fade, nor come off when wet, they are very well made and will last the duration...

Tags are ordered, thanks for simplifying it for me!

Also ordered the wet suit in bright red which is out of character for myself, but as you point out they’re not cheap and my wife knows so.

Thanks,

Craig

I understand the "Out of Character" remark completely, but you are getting it to preserve you new baby. If it does go down in the weeds or gets stuck in a tree and you bought a camouflage one it would probably be lost… Additionally, it will be much more visible when it is at distance…

Two things, land your drone a short distance away from you, go to the Safety Menu, Find my Drone and click Start Flashing and Beeping and imagine that it is off in the weeds or stuck in a tree, you will very glad that the Bright Red jacket is on your drone.

Next, in a wide-open field, practice the Return to Home. One the normal click the button on the controller. This is scary, when you see your drone climb up to clear all obstacles and it almost goes out of sight…

Next, and this is the scary part, turn the controller off and let it return home… It is really scary when it climbs up and you do not have any control of it…

But it's better to get this out of your system in the beginning and not when there is an emergency and you have never done this before…

Good Luck and Have a Happy New Year!
