Drone registration and Remote ID

This is a practical summary — the maintained reference is the compliance page, and none of this is legal advice.

Registration (US)

Drones at or over 250 g flown outdoors generally must be registered with the FAA (recreational fliers register once and mark all aircraft; Part 107 operators register each aircraft). We don't publish flying-trim weights per airframe, and the threshold is about your actual build — battery, camera, guards, and all — so put the assembled aircraft on a scale rather than inferring from the parts list.

Remote ID

Complete drones and complete kits we sell follow the applicable Part 89 requirements, covered by a Declaration of Compliance where one is required. If you need the compliance status for a specific aircraft before you buy, ask support — it isn't listed on the product page today.

Individual parts — frames, motors, stacks, printed parts — are just parts. A drone you assemble yourself from parts is a home-built aircraft, and the Remote ID obligation (typically a broadcast module) is yours. FRIA sites are the main exception for module-less flying.

What we recommend

• Register before the first outdoor flight; carry proof.
• Keep the registration number with the airframe's records — the Hangar has no dedicated field for it, so the aircraft's notes are the place to put it.
• Re-check the compliance page periodically; it tracks what our aircraft ship with.

Rules differ outside the US and change over time; the compliance page tracks what our aircraft ship with, not every jurisdiction's law.
