    Two drones stolen out of my jeep!

    I wouldn’t expect your homeowners policy to cover equipment used in a commercial enterprise. Do you have a business P&C policy?

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    Well, you have to pass the law to find out what is in it- Pelosi…

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    The following sections are pulled directly from the Sackett SCOTUS opinion. Clearly SCOTUS was taking the EPA’s interpretation that included places where rainwater may occasionally flow. They included the word “puddles” in their opinion when they are trying to identify the bounds of the act...

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    Well the SCOTUS smacked depends the EPA 9-0 in the prior article. “Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana also raised concerns about the federal government overreaching, saying that the Obama administration’s rule was "written so broadly" that it covered everything from puddles to irrigation...

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    So, just where in the clean water act does it denote that the seasonal puddle in your back yard is navigable water subject to EPA control? It’s not there, but the unconstitutional EPA, having nothing better to do than sit around tweaking actual laws put it there. Folks are having to spend years...

    5 Churches but inside too ?

    Peter - nicely done. The church shows off the fantastic architecture of the gothic style. Given that this is labeled “test vid”, I assume you are inviting constructive criticism. I have a few thoughts/questions below. 1. What is the point of the church’s web site? If it is like most...

    Are You Putting Off Buying A Drone Til The DJI v Congress Issues Are Settled?

    That’s true, but many of us have to use our phone attached to the controller.

    Are You Putting Off Buying A Drone Til The DJI v Congress Issues Are Settled?

    You may be right, I may be crazy, but what if: - Congress tells the FAA to put up a permanent TFR banning DJI drones from flying anywhere in the USA or its territories? Say with a minimum fine of $100K per violation. - Congress or certain regulatory/executive agencies tell DJI if they want to...

    A.P.: What you need to know about the DJI drone ban in the U.S.

    You do realize that there are 2 bills currently - right? One in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate. They have different approaches and it appears many here are conflating the two bills. In the House bill, there is a 5 year plan to raise the tariffs on DJI drones from the...

    Are You Putting Off Buying A Drone Til The DJI v Congress Issues Are Settled?

    I have already sent e-mails to my rep and senators on the pending bills. Thanks for posting the links however.

    Are You Putting Off Buying A Drone Til The DJI v Congress Issues Are Settled?

    Are you currently in the market for a new drone but are putting off buying til the current proposed legislations related to DJI drones resolve themselves one way or the other? I am in wait & see mode. If they ground my Air 2, so be it, but I’m not going to buy a new drone right now…
