MerryChristmas

[Fishbonez]

Its that time of year once again. Yep I am talking about my annual video Christmas card to ya all. A bit slower this year. Still recovering from that shoulder/bicep surgery. Who knew that holding a RC transmitter and or squeezing the trigger on a motion controller would pull on so many bicep tendons. So like good BBQ we went low and slow this year. Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy Holidays.

Thanks; I hope with the new FCC ban in non US manufactured drones and parts that we will be able to continue in the hobby

The FCC can only ban radios. Motors, electronic controllers and related has to be banned by the FAA only in assemblies, they cannot ban parts. Well, they can, but would lose in court.

The thing is who is going to take it up in the courts? Race Day quads learned that the courts are just as misinformed as the politicians and govt depts. Let keep our fingers crossed but as it stands now motors and components are banned as per DA 25-1086A1 and the covered list.
Did I just hijack my own thread? I did didnt I 🤣

Merry Christmas to all.
Lets move the discussion retarding the import ban of motors ESC's & batteries to a new thread.

End of the hobby in the USA?

You Tube is blowing up this morning regarding new regulations. Apparently the US has banned the import of ALL hobby related components, motors, batteries, ESC's, flight controllers and such. Here are the videos I have seen this morning. Let's hope they are wrong.
