Just a thought

[Gary Rowe]

How many keep a copy of the reg for their drone under the battery? Reason for asking, my battery came dislodged causing the drone to fall like a rock. After some testing I have come to realize putting it under there makes it harder to snap it down on both sides. In other words there is just not room enough to do this. I wonder how crashes were caused by this common practice.

What's a reg?

 

[Gary Rowe]

drone registration

 

[msinger]

Are you referring to a printed copy of the registration or just the FAA registration number?

 

[Gary Rowe]

printed copy of registration

 

[msinger]

Ah, yeah, you definitely don't want to wedge anything underneath the battery. Keep that in your drone case

 

[TIVAJAVA]

Just take pic of it ,and put the link to a shared public file in google photos.. Or iCloud if Apple has similar feature.??...

I have a PDF copy of all my drone registrations on my CrystalSky, iPad and Smart Controller so I can easily pull them up if I have to.

I have a PDF copy of all my drone registrations on my CrystalSky, iPad and Smart Controller so I can easily pull them up if I have to.

I laminated mine, made two copies, and keep one in my wallet with my DL, and another in my gear bag.

On the AC, I used a Brother P-Touch labelling machine, and printed copies of the Reg Number for the AC and each battery, and have affixed my phone number to the top of each battery.

These labels are very thin, and do not seem to make the battery hard to lock in place.

I use a brother P-Touch label maker and include my registration number along with my cell phone number. Sticker goes below the battery, never had a problem with a battery on a Mavic Pro locking in place because of it.

 

[msinger]

Right -- labels in the battery compartment are fine. A folded up piece of paper is a no go.

I just mark all my drones on the exterior using our vinyl graphics HERE Not really easy to miss that if it is every lost.

This is not a common practice. As others have said, all you need is the number written somewhere on the drone.

You can have stickers made wth FAA registration#, phone, and if desired your name. Stick them where you want.

When I first got my platinum, I seen a few posts suggesting to put things under the battery, Poor advice.

A sticker with the number. Not the entire printed registration certificate.

This is exactly what I did. I made it very small with the registration number, my name, address, and phone number on it. I have no problem at all getting the battery to stay in place.

I have an unfolded paper copy of the registration under the battery and have never had a problem locking in the battery

Brother P Touch as well, I place the label in the battery well. Never had any problems. The label has:
F. Last /(###)###-####
Reg No. ############
The labels work excellent.
Never use paper, esp folded
