    I got an interesting eMail today from the FAA.

    It's not the "falling" they are concerned about. It's the interference with the emergency response activities (such as helicopters and other manned aviation).

    Registering Multiple Drones w/ FAA

    It's not there. The inventory is only on the Part 107 dashboard.

    Part 107 vs Part 336 for Volunteers

    It's "gone", although only as of today when it was signed. But the FAA has stated to CONTINUE using the rules. Drone Pilots: President Trump Signs FAA Reauthorization Act

    Part 107 vs Part 336 for Volunteers

    If the drone flight is for hobby/recreation (which is for one's own personal enjoyment), then it falls under 336. If the flight is for some other purpose, then it falls under Part 107. Volunteer or paid is irrelevant.

    Registering Multiple Drones w/ FAA

    This is incorrect. If you registered under Section 336, then you will put the same number on all your drones.

    I'm loving the positive energy on this one! And you?

    Does this have something to do with the Spark or drones at all? Should this be moved to Off-Topic?

    Calling the tower.

    Technically, yes, you are supposed to call the tower when you are within 5 miles. Are you likely to "get in trouble" for not doing so in the scenario posted? Probably not.

    E2 airspace I can’t figure out

    That "funky shape" is the Class E controlled airspace for the Newport airport. Note that not all airspace is circular in space. The Class E airspace is controlled above 700 ft AGL.
