Registering MM after adding accessories

[brettbrandon]

Just curious if anyone is registering their MM with the FAA after adding accessories being as the take off weight will now be over 250 grams.

Why would anyone not register? If it's required by law, it's the right thing to do.

I guess maybe I should reword it to more like how many folks are aware that adding anything puts it over 250 grams.
Otherwise I guess I'll just keep my thought to myself...

Ah, yes, that's a good thing to keep in mind.

For a drone under 250 grams in weight - depending on where you are on the 'Earth' (re brettbrandon's Membership location) - registration is not always required ... At least that's the case in the UK and I believe in Canada too ...
Does the FAA registration scheme have a weight threshold like our UK system???

In the US (brettbrandon's current location on planet Earth), drones weighing more than 250 grams must be registered.

If you already have other recreational drones over 250g in the USA you should already have a registration number...

Same number, 1 minute with a Dymo label maker...stick it on, done.
