And built what? There isn't a single U.S. drone manufacturer that is interested in the prosumer market. Nor at any interested in the recreational market. No, we don't have the interest by any manufacturers, or the ability to produce even if we did.

Worse case scenario, and Congress doesn't come to their senses and cooler heads don't prevail, there won't be any firmware issues. The only real issue with what you're wanting to do (I know many who have brought their drones in from other countries) is that you won't have any U.S. based...

Yep, which is less than 1% of all BVLOS flights.

I'll have my summary of the NPRM out as soon as possible. I have to make sure my clients are taken care of first. I hope to have a video and article out this weekend.

The NPRM throws 99% of all drone pilots under the bus. People like me who currently have BVLOS waivers (mine is for 2SM) will be left out of the game entirely. It takes no account of how I and others utilize our waivers and just disregards our 100% safety record of flights taken under our...

It sure would be nice if we could discuss things this important (BVLOS is critically important to this industry) without politics being childishly inserted into the conversation. Grow up folks. This kind of nonsense does NOBODY any good!

AFS-700 has relaxed the Public COA BVLOS waiver. It's basically a "fill in the blanks" type of application. Whether or not we see similar in the NPRM remains to be seen. But likely. However, the NPRM is now 14 days late as per the Presidential Executive Order. We should see it later this week...

The Mavic 3 Pro isn't a mapping drone, as you found out. Without RTK, it's just not very accurate, and definitely isn't very easy. I fly the Mavic 3 Pros for all of my creative work. But I fly one of my Mavic 3 Enterprise for any mapping for measuring that's needed. And the batteries are...

We'll see if it comes back next session.

I fly with both. I get much cleaner transmission with the RC Pro. Especially in areas of high interference. And I have a BVLOS waiver, and fly out 2 miles regularly. The RC2 will work, but I'm more confident in the RC Pro for better transmission and control.

Not gonna happen. Ever. Basically that hearing was a dog and pony show. Michael Robbins (AUVSI CEO) got a few chances to tell the world how bad DJI is (he is so clueless), and Tom Walker got to try and make AirMap relevant again. We will never need to ask permission before we fly. India tried...

This didn't go anywhere.

We're only on the same page if you think banning DJI and Autel is a horrible idea as well. It won't do anything to boost U.S. production for the consumer and prosumer lines. At least not in time to save the industry.

Don't put words in my mouth! Nothing in my comments show any inclination to not invest in the US drone manufacturing industry. If you knew anything about me (Google is your friend), you'd realize how utterly ridiculous your statement is.

I'm not worried. You can discuss politics w/o the discussion turning political. Nothing in my comment is political. Some other comments in this thread are definitely political though, and they'll likely be removed this week.
