Rec flier questions (research done)

[Elwarpo]

Ok done research and want to make sure I did it right. I plan to fly under the recreation exception.
1) I got my Trust
2) I read and will follow the rules of the AMA (CBO)
3) I registered my drone and got a FA number I put on my drone.

Here is the question I have a mini 4k (under 250g, 238.8 to be exact). I want to put prop guards on it since I am learning to fly. This puts the weight over 250g (261g), so if I am correct I have to register it since it is over 250g at takeoff. So I put my FA registration number on it.

Even though the drone broadcasts a FAA ID, the model is not FAA approved. Do I need a separate FAA ID or is the one in the drone ok?

I should be good to go to fly it with the recreation exception.

A much better idea is to fly well away from obstacles.
Keep away from trees, buildings, powerlines etc.
When there's nothing to hit, it's very hard to get into trouble.

You'll be fine
