Oh dear oh dear oh dear. FCC move to remove existing DJI gear, and all derivatives / those made by shell companies and any UAVs that feature any component they deem a security risk now, or at any time in the future from their 'approved' list.


If that vote goes through it is difficult to see how our hobby can survive there. Not even the FPV guys are safe. There are several videos up online suggesting existing drone pilots don't need to worry, but I find they are deleting my comments alerting them to this newer information !
But we can't 'ostrich in the sand 'it this time. I can't see that vote NOT going through - can you ?

And that would be the final power generator in the Death Star complete, leaving all aspects of this hobby in the hands of Emperor Trump and his minions. It would appear they will have covered up that one exhaust port that Luke Skywalker needed to blow it up :( Not sure even Mr Steele could get in there now !

What a horrible year for the Hobby, and the hits just keep on coming...

This is the one time I disagree with the overall message from Russ' latest video. I just think it's naive for anyone to think the government only seeks to put a dent in the drone community and allow it to workaround and languish and take advantage of loopholes for years to come. We hear the phrase "the government can't...." which might have been true last year but sadly we haven't learned our lesson which is there's nothing the government can't do. Literally nothing. Everything is on the table....from permanent TFRs, revoking FCC, banning possession and/or ownership, even confiscation and arrests. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
