Lambenttelos[/url]":9tab2l1o]So I have built my first drone from scratch and am wondering what exactly I am registering. If I swap out components or take half of them and build a new drone where does the registration go? I'm guessing it just depends on the frame with the ID sticker when I fly it, but why wouldn't I just use the same ID on any drone I had and just pay the $5 one time.

I guess this law is probably a mad scramble to help with all the people buying drones at Best Buy for christmas, but I really wish there was more clarity here for me.

What you described is how it is supposed to work. You register yourself, not your devices. Put your number on any and all of them.
