I registered a 'toy' drone/UAS that you'd buy at Walmart for 30$ in 2015. I paid a fee and registered before I flew it. Then I bought a Phantom 4 Pro (1600$) and tried to register it (recreational); but it wouldn't let me add another make and model; so I figured that would satisfy 107.13. Since then I have registered it as a commercial UAS.I didn't realize that under part 107 that ATC authorization was required to fly UAS recreational in Class E to the surface. In manned aircraft (which I have significant experience) this is not required; so I'm still a little confused.
UAS pilot previously registered a toy UAS as per FAR 107; but the FAA website did not allow him to register a newly purchased Phantom 4 Pro. The UAS was flown then subsequently registered as a commercial UAS.
