Nope, the stuff generally is sitting on the warehouse floor stateside. Used to be part of my job once, babysitting stuff awaiting customs inspection. There ARE customs employees (dept of treasury) employed in U.S.of A. owned Warehouses everywhere worldwide but whoa baby, they are expensive when you involve our customs people and their warehouses
Yep, OUR hobby is doing fine. Around me I see the death of hobby shops that cater to building airplanes and that’s sad. I don’t really want to buy a $200 or $300 arf or bnf plane.
Only if it has already been approved (AKA DJI Mavic 4, DJI mini 5 Pro, DJI Avta 360, DJI Action 6 ect)
Yup! Though it's still REALLY hard to find a DJI o4 FPV units new in the US, and any new products DJI makes will not be approved...
I'm not sure that would fix the problem...They have plenty of regulations/laws on stealing cars, but it still happens! People are going to do stuff and regulations can get to a point where they just make things way to hard for the everyday hobbyist, and the people who are going to do stuff will just get it some other way anyway..
IDK, flying drones isn't easy enough just anyone could pick one up and fly it..Unless we are talking about DJI drones, but those transmit RID (Remote ID) which will broad cast the location of the drone (And I'm pretty the location of the remote) to the police so they would know the instant you take off..(End of mission😂😂)
The police in my town could care less where you fly or if you have RID or not. At the moment, they are far too busy with other things to pay any attention to drones. I suspect the police in other places have a similar opinion. As long as you don't do anything stupid, they will leave you alone.
I meant if you take off right next to a place like the white house👍 (Also I think only FAA officers who have the authority to fine you if you don't have RID, though if you are flying in a place you shouldn't then police can do something about it)
We've had the police out to our field and they used their radar guns to see how fast the quickies were flying. We get along great with the police.
You are exactly right.
Now, imagine what would happen if there were no theft or gun laws.
I hate to think!😬 (I just meant to take them away from everyone is a bad way of handling it and it won't really stop it)
It's to deter bad actors, not good ones.
People that were going to steal would steal anyway? People that were going to shoot people would still shoot people. The law only stops a very small segment of the population from doing anything.
