Any news on the FT EZ ID? I saw the announcement but nothing since, and September 16 is fast approaching. Stupid Feds. 😠

I order and have not received my EZ ID. But I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the STL for it's case?

Nothing on their site or Thingiverse yet. They have a 3D print in their store, but no STL yet.
FT EZ ID Case
The Flite Test store is the perfect place to find RC plane kits, DIY quadcopters and Flite Test apparel.
I ordered mine today.My FT EZ ID arrived today! I have mixed feelings about buying one.

Figure I can wrap the 3d printed case and a 1s battery all in foil, and toss it in the fuselage somewhere. 😁
If I plug it in up on the hill, then go down to my actual flying site, that's an extra 100' right there. 🤣

Looks like they just published the STL for the case

Assuming they do get the FCC and FAA compliance straightened out, you can also use this with an FC as the gps for the FC. There is additional documentation on the GETFPV product page. https://getfpv-media.s3.amazonaws.com/wysiwyg/files/FT-EZ-ID-Installation-Instructions.pdf
Hit the field tonight with the FT EZ ID in a RMRC Surfer 1500 and a Spektrum 6CH RX connected to the RadioMaster internal AIO module. Used several RID apps on my phone to see what kind of range it would get. I can fly further LOS than my phone was able to pick up and track the RID signal.

Excellent. If you are going to try and comply, the goal should be minimal range.
That said, a phone isn't optimized for picking up the signals. The "karenz" won't have the best reception, but much like we hobbiests have optimized gear for long range, there will be equipment out there with tuned antennas that can detect them at longer range.
I spoke with someone who was involved with helping test systems used to identify rouge UAVs. Your TX/RX and/or VTX are more likely to give you up via triangulation than RID.

There is a "law enforcement" mode that is significantly longer range (not miles though). The "law enforcement" is a setting that some drone RID apps have that you can test.

Wink, wink, nod, nod, know what I mean, eh?
Fire, rescue, etc with coordinated efforts. There actually are some good uses.
