There's so much we get from China that we can't get from anywhere else and we won't be able to start making it for a decade. China can make stuff BECAUSE they serve the world without issues. Their market is, as noted above 8x what the market the US has. Electronics is the #1 place we can't...

Re: Your Canada neighbors. I wonder if the border crossing can tell the difference between a "new" drone and one that's a little dirty. *wink wink*

Why are entities afraid of sharing the information? At my gas station there's a sticker that shows exactly how much tax is on each gallon of gas. It's a lot, BTW. When I go to get fast food, they have the calories of each item right there on the menu. When I make a bowl of Cheerios, I see how...

The tariff is based on country of manufacture, not country of purchase.

De minimis was canceled. Added was a tax, I mean "tariff" of $75. A month ago I bought something for $10. Today I needed a replacement. The seller added $888 to the shipping, I'm assuming, to effectively prevent anyone from purchasing. A different seller just sent me a message stating they...

They say that about practice but it's been over 40 years of trying and I've never managed to figure it out. I can read mirrored text, upside down, with no trouble but my only (semi) successful RC airplane flight was an absolute miracle. I really wish there had been a camera on that plane. The...

Blurry photo... FAKE!

What's the difference between this and the RC2?

Today the bolts I bought, that came from China, arrived. I bought them pre tariff and the bolts plus shipping came to about $15. Well, I ordered the wrong length so I went back to the listing to buy longer ones. The site now lists shipping at $888 Not kidding.

RTH is something that made me buy my Mini 4. Not because I fly out of sight (which I do) but because, for some reason, I can't get my brain to swap directions when an RC vehicle is coming towards me. I have a dumb drone and I've tried flying it. No more than even 100 feet away and still...

I was on an Eastern Caribbean cruise last November and checked the regs beforehand. You cannot have access to a drone while on the ship. You MUST check it with the cruise line and they will hold it and let you have it when you go into ports, IF the cruise port isn't owned by the cruise line...

There's enough politics all over. I don't think we need it here.

If DJI added a cell signal capability to the drones, they could call them phones and avoid all the tariffs. Yeah, I'm a genius.

Since we don't know the language of the tariff, we can't say either way but here's something to consider. The tariff might be on goods FROM China and not necessarily goods manufactured in China. So, if it's that's the case, one could, feasibly, buy ANY item made in China, while vacationing in...

Signed DJI goggles. It was at the end of the video.
