I want to put both my FAA certification number and my telephone number on my drones, but I don't want to have multiple large labels on the birds.
I looked around online and found an outfit called UAVstickers.com that does clean, reasonably small, white on black labels. But they didn't have a...
What is the purpose of the FAA registration number? Does one have to carry the printable card in one's wallet? Does one have to write the number on the aircraft? Is there going to be a drone police checking registrations?

HI,
Would someone be kind enough to send me an example 333? I have browsed through the FAA website for some but they are kind of confusing. I am a photographer who wishes to do real estate photography and videography as well as sell artistic prints and even provide home owners with high quality...

I have been asked to participate by flying the Phantom and answering questions about drones during an Airport Day Fly-In at an airport that is in red in the DJI Map "No Fly Zones". During that day, there will be an antique car show and RC aerobatic demonstrations in addition to the many...
