Not at all, i'm sure you look dashing it in ?Are you making fun of my best hat?
My Mini just arrived. Before I take it out and fly it I'm thinking I should put my name and phone number on it. What are the pros and cons of doing this? I'm thinking there are more pros than cons, but I would like more experienced pilots opinions. Thanks...
Also, I know that with the weight of the Mini I don't have to register it. With that being said, are you registering your Mini?
I think you’d report the theft to the police? Once they have a report, no problem at all to prove you weren’t flying at the time an offence occurred.That's so edge case it's bordering on tinfoil hattery.
It is a real possibility and only one example. Another example is that you are flying and the drone gets away from you for whatever reason and goes where it should not be. If the drone is registered, you may now very well need to pay a fine. What is reason for registering when you don't need to?That's so edge case it's bordering on tinfoil hattery.
No problem at all? You are going to report the theft of an $800 drone? Time to drive to the local station. Time to complete the report. Then time on the phone explaining the left. That is if it all goes smoothly. This is just one example. What are the benefits to registering when you don't need to?I think you’d report the theft to the police?

Nobody is talking about registering, we're talking about labelling your drone so you can get it back if you lose it. Iif the drone gets away from you and you've been reckless then perhaps you should cough up the fine, if it was due to some technical problem then I suspect you'll be just fine.It is a real possibility and only one example.

to steal a drone they need to find someone with a drone, that's your first line of defense.Hmm, if anyone intended to stop operations at an airport I'd think the first thing they would do is to steal a drone ...
I got the threads confused, as mentioned above. There was another thread in which someone said they would register their drone even if it did not need to be registered.Hmm, if anyone intended to stop operations at an airport I'd think the first thing they would do is to steal a drone ...
I believe the whole idea behind what DJI has done is create a flying camera that meets the goal of non registration and capture an entirely new crowd of owners that it didn’t have prior to it’s release.
you don't have to provide any details of the drone when you register it.Are you sure about that?
DId you provide details of the drone?
Correction, I registered myself with the FAA, not the drone.Are you sure about that?

Currently part 107 pilots register each drone, and get a different FAA number for each, while those registered as hobbyists get a single FAA number that is assigned to the pilot and usable on all drones they own.What is the difference? I thought you registered the drone, and that in turn registered you. Or are you talking about the 107 cert?
