My Registration Numbers.

[fengshuidrone]

I had all these decals left over after putting my numbers on so I used them in a few places. How did you make your FAA numbers? Where did you put them on your craft? Makes it kinda flashy

 

[Old Man]

I used black and silver Sharpies for now.

 

[fengshuidrone]

I thought about that too but I have this CF body and its dark. Plus I haven't used any decals since I was a kid putting models together so I figured what the hey.

I plan to make a little license plate and put them on there.

Is it going to have a little Virginia name on it like a real plate too? That would be sweet.

 

[Hoki]

Yes

 

[Ray Ellis]

Oh I always loved those little plates. Too bad you cant order them with anything you want like real private license plates. That would be coooooooooooool

 

[fengshuidrone]

Ok, I see the potential for profit here. All I gotta do is build that 3d printer I saw and I could print out ****loads of little registration plates. Sell 'em online. Have a website that automatically feeds the requested numbers from the internet to the printer.Wheels turning

 

[Ray Ellis]

I don't want to bust your biz model but do you think you will need FAA approval for the design and install? After all those will be official aircraft placards. hahahahah

 

[Hoki]

calm down, its my idea first I'm the plate queen

The FAA has a PDF describing "approved" methods of applying our registration numbers

Just joined up after having trouble registering. The only drones I have are less than .55 but all my park flyer aircraft are above .55 and as I read the new rule it applies to all unmanned aircraft. I tried to get a number assigned and it took my email and double password information but when I tried to proceed ahead it told me my password was wrong. I tried to go back and start over but when I did so it told me my email was already in place and I could get no further. I tried a second effort using my wife's email and the same thing happened. I went to the FAA online question email and explained the problem and get no response. Is anyone else having any similar trouble or is it just something wrong with me? I am planning to operate my park flyers at an out of state RC club field while on winter vacation and do not want to be barred because I do not have an assigned number. thanks

 

[Hoki]

I'm gona be flyin' dirty

 

[fengshuidrone]

At first it denied my pre paid Visa, but I entered the wrong expiration date. Fixed that and no problems after that. I always let my browser save email and password so it almost never does anything like that.

You can even put them in a battery compartment as long as they can be read there.

 

[Chalagi]

Where do you find numbers and letters that dang small?

 

[Richard Baner]

you can only put them in a battery compartment if it can be opened without a tool.

Correct. But, that still means that they can be put there. Minus all the gory details

 

[Old Man]

That's where I put the numbers on the Chroma. The battery uses a depression tab latch for removal. Finger activated
