    No, this changes nothing.

    US exempts some foreign-made drones from FCC import ban on new models

    Sony was making a cinematic drone, but pulled the plug on it last year because it couldn't compete with DJI. With the effective elimination of DJI from the US market, they may reconsider bringing it back. Panasonic worked with drone companies to adapt their camera technology to work on drone...

    US government abandons plan to blacklist Chinese-made drones

    The title of this post is misleading. The FCC did not roll back the ban on licensing new drones from foreign countries. The FCC had previously exempted a small list of drone vendors. The article linked by the OP referred to the Commerce Department, not the FCC.

    Wish I had thought of this before

    That's the point. It's not applicable. The quote/unquote reason for blocking foreign drones was over vague and unproven security concerns. No one has ever accused Toyota of sending back data from cars on the road to Japan that could be used against the US. Huawei was added to the Entity List...

    Wish I had thought of this before

    It's only a precedent when it applies to the case being argued. You picked cars as an example. There are numerous restrictions and limitations on how cars can be used. The argument being made by the government is that there is no legal usage for a foreign-made drone. They provide a way out...

    [Pilot Institute] The Effect of Banning Affordable UAS in the United States

    AI would have drawn the chart correctly. I think the person who created the chart just transposed the titles for the incorrect sessions.

    These are numbers that need to be presented to Congress.

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    That was the point. It was in response to something extreme. This isn't a black and white issue. It's situational.

    Y'all figured out how to load fly onto android 13 yet?

    You should be able to sideload an APK onto an Android device that has not been linked to a Google Account. Assuming that you had the "Install unknown apps" (or equivalent) setting enabled.

    Elise Stefanik will not run for governor and will not seek reelection to her house seat.

    Statistically speaking, it's more likely that she will become a lobbyist. There is a 1-year "cooling off" period before she can lobby her former colleagues; that time will probably be spent as a talking head on Fox News.

    Pile on and Tell Me Why I am Wrong

    So people shouldn't say anything when someone like Luigi Mangione is spotted in a fast-food restaurant? Or Ted Kaczybski shouldn't have been "snitched" on by his brother?

    How often do you use your gimbal cover?

    When I'm not flying, I put the gimbal cover back on. It keeps the mechanism from being jostled, and it keeps me from losing the gimbal cover.

    Antigravity A1 sub forum please

    The A1 will benefit from having more mature editing software out of the box. It's an advantage with a short window.

    The FCC ban on all foreign made UAS and UAS "critical components"

    The software would be the easiest part. Keeping a quad drone flying was a problem solved years ago. Litchi did apps with more features, and they are based in the UK. Their app used DJI libraries, but none of it was rocket science. You do make a valid point that a "Made in the US of A🇲🇾"...
