I just read in the news today that the FAA requires that we register our sUAS (small unmanned aircraft system) again.

Yea, just saw this today. Planning on doing it?

I registered the first time around and never asked for a refund. So I should still be registered. If they make me pay another $5 because of all the rules change back and forth, I am not going to bother.

I registered mine once...will not be doing it again unless there is a real reason too.

That’s a good point. I registered previously and never received my refund. I say to them just apply the five bucks you owe many of us to the current license.

I don't think the FAA registration website ever went down. Registration became non-mandatory, for a short period. But to get your $5 refund, you have to request it. Anyway, now that it is mandatory again, I am pretty sure your registration is still valid.

Just have to go micro, and not worry about registering.

alrighty then , read the first post which was news to me
went to the link .... went to my FAA-UAV account called up my certificate
and what the heck, it had the signup date 1-20-17 and a expiration date of
2020 of all things...... would of been quicker to look in my wallet ,, doh!

so it looks like its every three years

Not trying to invite the wrath, but there's a 98% chance I will not be doing that. I did ponder the whole UAV thing, but decided against it.

i sell the buggers in my shop, mostly RTF stuff like cx10 DM003 jj1000 good fliers and durable
some micro fpv qx95, entry goggles . i'm really trying to cultivate some flying partners ..
anyway i have to be legal to set a good example & i only signed up when i went to
the 250 racer size..but i hear ya on the stay out of my life .
if i was only to fly on private property i'd say eat my prop dust suckers!

meh... TBH I liked that I didn't have to label my equipment. It's a PITA to find a spot to put the FA# on a couple of my models. oh well :p
