You used to be able to 'hide' those numbers in an inconspicuous place as not to deter from the craft's appearance. Not anymore. The FAA doesn't want to have to open or touch anything to check the number. It's a 10-25k fine if you're caught without. A word to the wise...

Thanx. I have both my registration numbers applied to the rear 2 arms, red for commercial & black for hobby. I also have a reward sticker with phone number in case it gets away from me. Don't plan on that happening, but ya never know, sometimes they have a mind of their own.
If you follow the regs, by staying in visual contact, lessening the chance of a mishap. I've never been to 400 ft & can't imagine someone with that kinda vision. 200 ft it's hard to see, diffinetly can't hear it. I looked away one day & couldn't see it. First & only time I used return to home feature & it worked.
