Not me. If I lose it, chances of recovering anything usable other than a motor or battery are low. I just assume chalk it up to the price of anonymity

And this I precisely why I didn't register and don't plan to. Not only do I not feel nervous about flying, I still fly just as much! If anyone ever asks if I'm registered, the answer will be "YUP! it sure is!!" If they ask for proof, I'll ask for their warrant. Same goes for police. Either...

That's called a Utopia. It doesn't exist. What does is exist is the real world where the government breaks their own laws (requiring registration for toys even though congress said they cannot do it) and corporations dictate how you will use something you bought and own AFTER the sale...

yeah, this doesn't work for me. I paid for a product to work a certain way. It didn't. It was riddled with bugs. If I want those bugs fixed I have to accept draconian control of my product and restriction? Create two firmware streams. One with ONLY bug fixes and NO new restriction. The...

I'll email him right now but I can say with confidence it's going to fall on deaf ears. The only thing this company will understand is destruction of their product recognition and loss of revenue. The only time a company cares about how unhappy their customers are is when they're losing money...

Whose Brendan?

This has class-action law-suit written all over it. In fact, much if what DJI has pulled has them comfortably lined up for losing a legal battle. Legal or not, my drone already does less than it did when I bought it and with this new system, it's going to completely un-flyable for thousands...

Couple issues with this: Why does everything the police put in there hands look like it's designed to kill a human being? Does this REALLY need to be mounted on an AR-15 frame? Seriously? I feel like it'd be a fraction of the cost of it were just a solid molded plastic body. The police...

Not sure how you didn't notice the sound of 130dB straight pipes, under a load, at 25ft elevation approaching you. Cessna's don't exceed the speed of sound, soooooo......

Abso-f'ing-lutely NOT.

We'll have to agree to disagree I guess. I actually am that guy who will not get out of my car, consent to a search or anything else the police don't already have the authority to do. Balance of power needs to be maintained and I'm not surrendering one inch of my balance because you asked (or...

I guess I sort of was implying that... It probably wasn't necessary. More importantly though what I was questioning was the excitement about displaying your willingness to bend over to what, at the very least, is questionably legal on the FAAs part. At worst, it's illegal. Not only are people...

Jeff, personal attacks aside, do you remember the 'good 'ol days' of riding in the back of a truck or getting caught stealing a piece of candy from a store and the shop owner putting the fear of God into you? How about road racing on back roads as teenagers or having fires out in the pit with...

Unfortunately this is a typical type of response. As much as I dislike the way you're speaking to me, I'll fight to the death for your right to do it. I should have known not to bring up the politics of this. I broke the golden rule. Never discuss politics or religion!! :)

It's more the overstep by the FAA and the drooling everyone seems to be doing to brightly display their government ID number like it's a prize. It's sickening. It's registration, tracking, identification and will ultimately be used for intimidation. Registrations for pilots today, tomorrow...
