Q. Will my drone require an N-number or sticker?
A. No. You will receive a unique registration number, not an N-number, and you must mark the registration number on your UAS by some means that is legible and allows the number to be readily seen. The registration number may be placed in a battery compartment as long as it can be accessed without the use of tools.

thanks
That’s an interesting twist. Unlike other craft, you can mark your UAS such that observers CANNOT see the identification - meaning they can only prosecute you if they can physically capture the drone and inspect it. That massively diminishes the value of registration.
Where’s that picture of the drone-capturing drone?
Could you imagine if they implemented this via N-Number and people were stuck with CHANGING the N-Number on 10,000 hour scale planes? Lol
