It is just the middle of a couple year cycle that I have been through maybe ten times. TRUST ME, it will be over soon with not much noticeable change, especially if the administration changes. Not DDjT, but the other people under the idiot in charge

When you get down to that level, it's hard to tell a D from an R. They are all the same.

Fired off the following to the President, my two Senators & Congressional representative. Maybe if we all do something similar it might help.
Permission granted to plagiarize as you see fit.

Dear President / Senator / Representative

Please speak to whom in Homeland Security decided to ban RC airplane equipment made in other countries.

I am in a group where we train the Boy Scouts on how to get into this hobby safely and how to enjoy fellowship outdoors.

This "ban" reeks of oversight without forethought. There are no American manufacturers of this type of equipment and instituting this WILL result in job losses, lost tax tax revenue and lost votes votes.

We do NOT need the government controlling everything we do. This is not a Communist country but actions like this leads one to believe that is the direction we are headed.

The best water is the hot water when the faucet is first turned on afetr sitting in the sun all day. Has the best flavor rather that the stuf after all the old water flushes it out.

The way I RAN here after seeing the FCC PDF
thanks for posting this. seems to be a little bit of nothingburger for actual hobbyists but still this sort of regulatory overreach is maddening. seems they want us to drop all things that involve thinking and become useless sheep...
