This is the response I got from Autel regrading FAA registration for Remote ID: On the back of your box for your aircraft there should be a bunch of barcodes. One of those barcodes is for your serial number of your aircraft. If on this box, it begins with a 1748C, that is your serial number and...

Just verified that I can add the drone if I use the 1748CTLC922.... SN that my drone has and they want $5 to register that. With that said, my drone is LTO serial # and I hate to pay the money to register that way if it's not the right SN they expect. It may be worth talking to Autel support to...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's a DJI specific prefix. If you take a peek at the Autel Lite+ Declaration of Compliance ( 1748CLTC) and compare it to the DJI DoC you'll see that 1581 on the DJI while ours should start with the 1748 SN. I may test this later to see if I can...

Got the new update for the Lite+ today. The app does display the RID Serial # beginning with LTO9... but the FAA still says it's not a valid serial #. :( I guess we wait for another update either from Autel or the FAA on this one in the event it's a database sync issue.

Yep, Autel app update and Firmware 1.8.3 is now available

I guess Autel pulled this update? I was trying to get it to install yesterday and it wouldn't pull it. Now the Sky App is saying I'm at the latest version (1.5.33) and the release notes are no longer posted in their firmware section.

The do have the Ace Pro but I can't say I'd recommend it. I've got the EXO US version (Blackhawk 2 Pro) and the first one fell out of the sky at about 20 flights. The camera on it is great and there are many features in the app I wish the Lite+ has, but I just don't think it's going to be any...

Welcome to the forums!

I don't know if I ever saw that but they did a heck of a marketing campaign for the BH2 series and I fell for it. It's probably not a bad drone, but I didn't realize at the time that EXO was just three or four different brands of drones that they essentially bought the support and distribution...

Gee.. I come over from EXO because I had a similar experience with their new Blackhawk 2 Pro. Fell out of the air at a few feet just hovering. It's currently been with EXO for over a month while I wait for a replacement. Decided I don't trust it enough and will sell it once they send the...

Maiden flight I took her up to max altitude AGL. If you look closely you can see downtown St. Louis and the Arch :D I guess that'll have to do for to day. So far I'm loving this drone and wish it had been my first pick. That said, I just caught it on the summer sale so it saved me about...

I don't go into the city often. Mostly around my subdivision or out in wilderness areas while I get familiar with flying again. Can't fly in/around too close to the arch. It's a national monument and the entire area is a restricted area. It takes a LOT of paperwork to get that approved...

Hello everyone! Just wanted to check in as a new Autel Drone owner. My Evo Lite+ in orange arrived today and the batteries are charging as I type this. I'm not very new to this hobby but it's safe to say I just started flying again this year with the intent to help my wife with her real...
