Simple answer is YES! And those pilots are what drive the restrictive rules. Remote ID may change, ease or expand this restriction, but don’t count it for 3 - 5 years. From my experiences, FPV pilots flying with goggles are stunt and racing pilots.

I’d be interested to support local first responders, but not those trying to cheap out (realtors first come to mind)

I totally agree! The FAA Regs say .55 lbs/250 gm at take off. If you add the stickers or prop guards or anything, you’ll be over 250 gm. I suspect most users will ignore that anyway.

The Autel Evo has no NFZ restrictions. It relies on the RPI’s best judgement to obey the rules. Some say it has a better camera and equally flight characteristics to the top consumer drones available today. I own both Autel and DJI drones. Whatever your decision is, we all wish you best of...

Dark mode is awesome on my iP Xr with iOS 13. Be experimenting more tomorrow.

It’s a tourist trap now. “We only take you to the safe area! You’ll only glow in the dark for a while! ?”. My daughter visited it while visiting her software developers There.

Awesomely useful video!

I have a set coming tomorrow. I’ll try to do a short video comparing the noise level.

All the under 250 gram rule does is save you the $5 fee. Anyone flying in our National airspace, regardless on form or function, as a minimum, has to follow at least the 8 recreational rules.

I ordered stickers online with their FAA registration numbers and my cell phone number.

There are several YouTube videos that show the step-by-step process. It’s a little nerve racking forcing the plastic parts apart.
