Thoughts on HKPilot V2.5 flight controller?

License free 5.8 devices are still "blessed" via the part-15 cert. There's nothing unregulated about any RF band - just exceptions for who needs the the blessing to opperate. 5.8.and 2.4 have been viewed as unregulated, since the processes of getting a license free device have become liveable for OEMs.

That being said, there are exceptions in part-15 provided for experimental and hobbyist devices - which is why you'll find rf gear for arduino projects in electronics hobby stores. As nice as it is for that freedom, they still have to comply with the power and bandwidth limits. They also don't apply to us, unless you're soldering components onto homemade pcbs.

So that's where it comes from...

I still may go ahead and get my license if I can just get around to it. So many projects! But it would open up those lower frequencies and better penetration to me...
