Two "Reward if Found" stickers and my mobile number...
Flying it can be fun but for me the drone is simply a platform for my camera. An easily movable, very high invisible tripod.
Same here.I just have my FAA# and my cell # on mine.
Should be enough.
My FAA number and my cell number are on the sticker.
Sticker is inside the battery compartment at the bottom. Legal, since it doesn't require any tools to get to. I don't have a name or address on there. I have no intention of running and hiding from an incident that is my fault. However, my level of cooperation with the person on the other end will depend on their attitude. If they feel compelled, then they can look it up in the FAA database.
Nothing wrong with living in the sticks is there?
I have my drone marked "If Found - Contact (Phone #)"
I also of course have my FAA registration on there.
I understand the "run and hide" fear after damaging someone's property, but the more responsible thing to do is take ownership of your aircraft and claim responsibility for accidents. If the drone community is responsible like that, the FAA won't be so strict.
Safe Flyin'
Having a membership to a designated RC flying field, like our local www.ercha.ca has been nice. As well, awesome in being a dues-paid member of www.maac.ca. Our membership there provides us with a $7.5M liability insurance..
Lord forbid. . . You know? ;-)

The FAA is pretty crazy about the whole thing, but the way I look at it is to use your own discretion and fly safely using your own rules. I live in the suburbs of Pennsylvania and I have flown the drone out of my sight lines and over 400 feet many times, but I'll tell you if I lived in Philadelphia, I wouldn't dare fly the thing out of my sight or above 400 feet. I use my discretion knowing I am in the middle of absolutely nowhere and if I crashed, I almost definitely would not harm anyone or anything, That's just my view on it. I am a pilot in training as well and I always do a risk assessment before flying both my drone and a real plane.
Goes a little like this:
1) Pilot Condition?
2) Aircraft Condition?
3) Weather?
4) External Factors? (Example: Large crowds of people)
I do that before every flight and it is a good way to feel confident while flying.
Cell #, FAA #, and a Trackimo tracker on my bird
If in the US I'd assume ALL do. Until we're told otherwise it's required to at least have your FAA Operator Registration # on/in the aircraft.
Old timers have long since had our name, contact #, and AMA # clearly visible on each of our aircraft (required for AMA members). I have since updated all of my aircraft to include Registration #, name, phone # and email address. If mine goes down I'd hope someone at least tries to contact me.
Catch 22, falls on a lamborghini or Ferrari I kind of want to run and hide, then again if it falls safely in a yard and someone picks it up I kind of want someone who's a good person and call a # I would list on the drone.
so is your information stickered on it? Name/phone #
Add a sticker that says reward if found. Better to pay small reward than lose hundreds if bucks!!I just have my FAA# and my cell # on mine.
Should be enough.
