Start here on the Getting Started page:I followed the FAA's user ID type tool https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/user_identification_tool and it asks -NOTHING- about 250g or 0.55 lbs
In the U.S. it is actually illegal to fly a drone...............Without a part 107 cert.If flying recreationally you fly according to the guidlines of a CBO as part of 44809
Sorry for obscuring your question with a tangent.right basically my question was on the 100mph limit that is normal to Part 107. I was thinking that possibly there may be an exception to registration for being < 0.55lbs where you couldn't even go 100mph but this seems not the case at least not in the lab code; it seems what ever the CBO has is what needs to be followed

Under FAA Part 107, the maximum allowable speed for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) is 100 mph (87 knots), regardless of the drone's weight. This limit applies to all drones operating under Part 107, including those that weigh less than 0.55 lbs (250 grams).For 107 is 100mph the limit it seems?
If so is it also the limit for drones < 0.55lbs?
That was my understanding, I was primarily concerned with them restricting your max speed even further if you flew under the personal/recreational rules with UASs under 0.55lbs. But its obvious now theres no additional restrictions.Under FAA Part 107, the maximum allowable speed for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) is 100 mph (87 knots), regardless of the drone's weight. This limit applies to all drones operating under Part 107, including those that weigh less than 0.55 lbs (250 grams).
The 0.55 lbs threshold primarily affects registration requirements for recreational drones, but it doesn’t create exemptions from operational rules like speed limits under Part 107. Therefore, even ultra-light drones must adhere to the 100 mph speed limit when flown commercially or under Part 107 regulations.
Nobody is disputing the speed limit while flying under Part 107.Under FAA Part 107, the maximum allowable speed for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) is 100 mph (87 knots), regardless of the drone's weight.

That was put in place for RC jets. you are allowed 200 MPH with an RC jet IF you install a thrust limiter. (170 mph without)you can fly over 100 mph if you get the AMA waiver, fly at thier field and meet the other requirements of said waiver. The AMA can do this because "(A)the unmanned aircraft complies with standards and limitations developed by a community-based organization and approved by the Administrator; "
