    Would you support a lawsuit over Remote ID?

    To be honest, when I first glanced at your original post, I thought that the lawsuit was about eliminating the entire Remote ID Rule. I'm guessing that many others may have missed the point as well. I am not sure if a different wording would make the intent clearer at first glance. I totally...

    I think the healthiest thing to do is to sit down with your wife, do your budget, see what disposable income you have after covering all usual expenses, and then decide how much from the remaining amount goes into savings, what goes into shared activities such as trips, and what goes into...

    I have a commercial registration for my drone. Can I fly it recreationally?

    Best 107 Prep

    I second that. I used the material found in the FAA website, and binged on YouTube videos going over certain trick questions. I took whatever practice test I could find through a Google search. jrupprechtlaw.com and dronepilotgroundschool.com are definitely great sites to visit. I spent...
