going back for another "missing piece" where/who/what is the "receiver" ?
unfortunately flying a drone is no different than any other outdoor activity and you have to be prepared for confrontation whether it's a criminal or a friendly. I don't plan to give up the hobby as I am well prepared to deal with the upcoming issues. but I agree with you, interesting times are coming.It is plainly obvious that no matter what signals my Evo-1 does or does not broadcast, I will either break the law by flying according to common sense or draw the unwanted attention of every nearby self-appointed security guard, drone vigilante, and thief by broadcasting my exact base-station position and pilot ID info.
I could avoid unwanted attention by flying in the middle of nowhere -- but I don't live anywhere close to the middle of nowhere. And the FAA's equivalent of RF-ID-free 'dog-walking parks' is no solution.
I thought about switching to a sub-250-gram drone (no transponder required). But a smaller drone overhead without an RF ID will look far more nefarious to paranoid minds than a drone with an RF ID -- and to avoid the wrong end of a baseball bat or gun barrel, I've instead decided to end my drone-flying hobby sometime before the new rules take effect ...perhaps by selling my Evo-1 ...but more likely flying it full-throttle in ludicrous mode, cancelling all RTH modes, and waiting until its video and control signals drop out for good when it crashes into the Atlantic Ocean.
You have o love the way Bruce throws info out for you to think about. Sometimes hard to listen to but he does have his points.
the price will only increase (by a little) if drone flyers place any value on full compliance and I'm betting they won't. unless there is an official list of "exempt" drones by the time these rules go into full effect years from now, this will all become old news. from what I have been reading and hearing "so far" this is a nothing burger. just slap a $25 rid device on your drone and go about your day. I hope that's all it amounts to.He's easy enough to understand. He's got good points. A good one is that if you start indoors without gps lock and then go outside, per the rules, the drone is no longer broadcasting the takeoff signal. Per the rules, I read through them, the addon transmitters have to broadcast the drones takeoff coordinates. Built in transmitters, ones that will be integrated by manufacturers, have to broadcast the pilot/control station coordinates.
All messed up stuff really but in a few years time, drones sold second hand could be worth more than what they were initially bought for.
BTW, is it possible to get a receiver right now? It would be helpful to know if something big is flying around.. just slap a $25 rid device on your drone and go about your day. I hope that's all it amounts to.
