Register my drone? Yes or No

[The Angry Prepper]

I was on the FAA website & it states that I have to register my drone. It's my understanding that because I'm a hobbyist that I don't have too. Which is it?

You no longer need to register.

Nope. Was struck down by the courts awhile back. The FAA is simply dragging their feet uodaring their site to further confuse the public into obeying their overreach anyway.

I feel like an idiot...before checking here, I thought I had to, and going to the first site googled, it looked the the official FAA site. Long story short, it was a 3rd party deception, and I paid $25 for a 3 yr. reg. !! It's officially registered with the FAA, but needlessly and at 5 times the actual cost!

Don't feel bad -- it's easy to get sucked in.

One nice thing about registering is you can print and laminate the certificate. Believe it or not, this little piece of paper goes a long way when dealing with authorities or anyone else questioning your flying. Silly, I know, but it works.

Good advice...thanks FlyGuy.

Why do they still have this site up? It reads you need to register or face criminal/civil penalties and this is months after the FAA was told no they could not do this? "The court's decision invalidated the registration requirement as it applies to certain model aircraft"

I'm not sure. They did update the wording on some of their other pages (like this one).

Does anyone have the court ruling?
