    Thunderdrones

    My next comment comes directly from me, ALLEN, as an individual and is in NO WAY coming from this from the forum ADMINSTATION! This is my own, personal, first hand opinion of this matter concerning thunderdrones. This is the first time I've even mentioned his name since his "MavicPilots"...

    Thoughts on Drone Ban Bill

    I don't think you absorbed what @mavic3usa said. Here is the quote from his post directly before yours: "Autel probably says the are a US company and perhaps their drones are assembled in the US but that hasn't stopped the US government from targeting them as a chinese drone maker."
