    Where to buy Smart Controller?

    Usually it’s when their costs go up or demand is strong.

    I don’t think tariffs are included in the selling price since they are added by the US upon import. Maybe DJI has added it because they prepay it?

    DJI has been out of stock for a while – I’m signed up for email notification. And everywhere else I’m looking shows Out of Stock.

    1080 Good Enough?

    What to put for part 107 account name when registering drone for hobby use?

    To answer my own question, I guess. I logged into my FAA account and received this notice. I followed the bouncing ball, used my existing info - minus drone serial number, paid another $5 and then got a new Cert with a new number which I'll then put on my drone - replacing the 107 number. Now...
