France is so restrictive :(

If you like Ale as opposed to beer... I doubt you'll be disappointed. As far as Jura is concerned: Slange.

Postscript.
If you visit the distillery (well worth the effort) insist on trying 10/12 year Origin at cask strength (varies between 110 and 112 degrees proof)

Speaking of favorite breweries and beers in Europe, if ever in Bavaria, be sure and stop by Kloster Andechs in Ehrling and order the Doppelbock Dunkel!

to legally avoid transmitting RID, primarily to avoid Karens and criminals from finding the pilot when flying legally, which can potentially be just as dangerous, even domestically!

Let's stop preaching the unjustified fear that drone pilots are being tracked down with RID and mistreated by criminals and meddlesome neighborhood fussbudgets. It's just not happening.

Yes, a gang of Al Qaida terrorists might potentially track you down, bonk you on the head, and steal your DJI Neo. And Bigfoot may deliver a pizza to your front door at the same time the Publisher's Clearinghouse representative shows up with that $10,000,000 check.

Thanks for the tip. Doppelbock Duly noted.

Even though it makes me grind my teeth to admit it: Belgian artisan beers are some of the best in Europe - some of the recipes have remained the same since the middle ages.

Let's also not be naive. Just because you haven't experienced it yet doesn't mean it isn't happening or won't happen. The road has already been paved. It's early days. The traffic will grow exponentially over time. Add in overzealous security guards with radios and guns, and paranoid property owners defending "their" air space, whether they be wealthy, poor, or surreptitiously growing marijuana in the backcountry, and the commoditizing of the current $850 RID detectors with 10 km range to a $100 device, and you have a recipe for disaster. Confrontations are guaranteed. The public's paranoia over drones is not going away. The well publicized use of consumer drones in the war in Ukraine by both sides also isn't helping. Ukraine was needing a resupply of over 10,000 Mavic 3's a month over the last several years.

It's not happening.

It's been more than a year since RID was required. No reports of problems yet.

And yet, we're not seeing problems after a full year.

The public's paranoia over drones is not going away.

And some drone pilots' paranoia over RID is not going away.

The well publicized use of consumer drones in the war in Ukraine by both sides also isn't helping. Ukraine was needing a resupply of over 10,000 Mavic 3's a month over the last several years.

More than 360,000 Mavic 3s have been shipped to Ukraine since the Russians invaded? Reference, please.

Ukraine Drone pilots have ZERO use for mavics. They want DJI Air units!

Not sure there's any point in taking my newly acquired mini 4 pro to France. Got a tour arranged for end of August into September. Will be visiting some beautiful places ie Rocamadour, Millau, Tan Gorge, Ardeche, Verdon, Mercantour mountains etc etc. But I can't fly in any of these places according to the drone maps provided by the French aviation guys. Properly pissed off

Just break the law.
