    Don't Believe Everything You Hear about Chinese Drones. (By Vic Moss).

    ok...but if you agree or not, the reality is the FCC has granted itself the power to retroactively cancel licenses. You may think it won't happen and that the courts would intervene, but the last 10 months have shown that the courts very often don't have any lasting intervention applied to...

    Don't Believe Everything You Hear about Chinese Drones. (By Vic Moss).

    the government is shutdown right now. And when it opens again, there will be so many things deferred that will need attending to, the idea that this incompetent reactionary Congress would actually attend to a matter of Chinese drones seems laughable. Yeah, that's bad government but that's where...

    The FCC just gave itself the power to make a DJI drone ban stick

    obviously, it would be an 'extreme' option....a remote chance outcome. But since Rep Stefanik pocketed her campaign contributions from Skydio and went on her anti-DJI jihad 18 months ago, every step of the way has included the possibility of an 'extreme' option. All kinds of steps that had a...

    The FCC just gave itself the power to make a DJI drone ban stick

    I'd assume there are at least a couple of options make it a federal crime to fly a DJI drone although that would be difficult to enforce. But if it was a federal crime I sure wouldn't risk flying a DJI drone. Not with remote ID in place another way might be thru the DJI Fly App. The Feds could...

    The FCC just gave itself the power to make a DJI drone ban stick

    some of us saw this ban coming a year ago. it's a snowball now...any news is bad news be cautious with your DJI drones because you may not be able to get another, and if you do there's probably no effective warranty.

    1000 m high altitute flight - Buying Advice

    I believe the Mavic 3/4 models will go up to 1000M if you're more than 30 miles/50KM from an airport. I'm not sure if DJI would allow a waiver in the fly app to go higher I believe the limit on Autel drones is 800M

    Best drone insurance for flyaway and damage? Is there a consensus on which insurance to buy?

    ok....maybe I wasn't concise enough this was a personal property policy; a separate policy not a part of, or attached, to a homeowners policy. I got up to $5000 in coverage. That could have been $10,000 in coverage...or $30,000 depending on the annual premium I was willing to pay I could have...

    Best drone insurance for flyaway and damage? Is there a consensus on which insurance to buy?

    somebody earlier in the thread said they had a State Farm policy that would reimburse for the cost of the drone. The policy was $49 year I was offered the same policy for the same price. But I asked for an endorsement that reimbursed at the cost of replacement with the latest comparable model...

    Best drone insurance for flyaway and damage? Is there a consensus on which insurance to buy?

    I'm not sure but a couple of posters in this thread have said they have State Farm policies without having other policies with the company

    Best drone insurance for flyaway and damage? Is there a consensus on which insurance to buy?

    calling the reviews "mixed" may be a bit kind. But they are located in California so if you're a California resident maybe you'd have a little better leverage seems like you could insure as a drone, or as an appliance
