That's what they want you to believe but no commercial operations get any benefits from FAA. USA is the 3rd world of drone business... Cameras are the problems for the US government...
Yea I agree, you guys have more train tracks than anywhere else in the world but you don’t have any bullet trains why? The vast majority of your rails are owned by corporations your passenger trains has to rent tracks from them, the air will be the same soon
Holy sh!t, the fact that neither ultra-lites or paragliders don't require anything even CLOSE to RID is insane! Excellent video and super-informative. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏
Don’t comply its simple, and to say that you are part 107 you have to comply is bullcrap you don’t! You will still get jobs they aren’t sending out letters fuck them
Hey man, just wanted to say I've watched a lot of independent creators videos about RID, and I'd have to say that yours was the most enjoyable to listen to. You make excellent points, you did it in a concise way, and I agree with you almost entirely. I'm Canadian, so this hasn't affected me so far, there's been new drone regulation tweaks presented recently in Canada and luckily none of them had anything to do with RID yet, but we can assume that after you guys get all squared away, we will be following shortly afterwards. It's a bummer, but I think Ken Heron is correct in thinking that this will only be a think for a few years before it gets phased out or it becomes too expensive to enforce. 🤞🏻
Bravo, sir. Great video. 1st-time viewer here & i honestly had my doubts when I saw your basement setting, but i'm glad i didn't judge your book by your cover because I genuinely learned some things from you today. I had no idea that all the aircraft you presented as examples - and they absolutely ARE aircraft - don't require a license or registration & aren't even considered "aircraft" by the FAA. That is absolute nonsense, and as a commercial UAV pilot it is downright maddening. +1 subscriber. I look forward to your follow-up installation video. (please tell us you'll be making a follow-up installation video.)
Nobody has ever cut their fingers with a drone and said “dammit this thing needs regulations” if you hurt yourself with your own drone it shouldn’t be on a statistic
If model aircraft are to have remote ID, be registered, and require per flight notification then all manned aircraft should require ADSB, registration and a license for the pilot.
You made many great points !!! Thanks for video ,gave me many great ideas. You make your money !! I fly for a hobby. Like u said the Cops around here don't care about drones either.
I'm in Canada and for now there is no talk of RID, but I can see it coming to Canada in the next four or five years. I have about 7 aircraft registered most are RC airplanes.
It's not about safety at all. It's about money. For some reason, they seem to think there is more money made in this hobby than there is in all of the other aviation sport.
Remote ID is not about safety. Every criminal and Karen with a cellphone will know where the RC pilot is but no full scale aircraft will know where an RC aircraft is.
I like the points you're making - before you submit it I would recheck your hang glider number though. It's got to be lower than 1 in 100 hang gliders yielding death per year. You said 3.5 deaths per year, that would only be 350 hang gliders in the entire country. Again, gotta be more.
No hate man. I get it. I really like the angle you took with pictures and stats. Do what you gotta do to feel safe while flying and operating your business. Hope it goes well for you.
This is how the remore id law needs to be challenged in court of law. The facts all these other craft are more dangerous and require no license or registration is very compelling!
Ok my take , flying a timber in a field and 5k away from airport rid is overreach and crazy flying bvlos long distance like I do full nav lights and rid , I’m happy with but it’s not about safety it’s about control
I expect the law enforcement officers will be forced to watch a training video on what to look for and inspect. But that is if they even care. Every officer I met flying knew what it was and thought it was cool. Most encounter drones in search and rescues for people. Ice fishing accidents where people get trapped on ice.
The distinction is that Para motors, Para gliders, hang gliders and hot air balloons with a pilot on board are not drones. Ps. I'm an RC hobbyist who is not in favor of Remote ID.
Completely agree with your points. I need to dig more into any BVLOS exceptions especially WRT to flying FPV drones, but I believe the same sort of issue exists here. The manned no- and low-powered craft has very few restrictions - can they see THAT much better to justify how the laws restrict drone pilots flying FPV at just beyond VLOS (from the spotter, since the FPV pilot cannot ever see the whole drone)? I want to comply with the laws and I understand the goals of the laws, but I feel like there need to be more exceptions such as within unpopulated / very sparsely populated spaces.
Yes, the cost of available RID’s are a little expensive, but for a recreational flyer at a designated FRIA there are hidden costs. All FRIA’s are typically AMA organizations. In order to fly at one of these locations, you will have to have a AMA membership card. There may also be an additional charge to be a member of that specific club. Yearly full AMA memberships are $85 ($75 for 65 & older). AMA also has a yearly Park Pilot membership for electric aircraft less than 2lbs and slower than 60mph. A local Oklahoma City club (TORKS) stated on their website that the city is considering charging each member a yearly $50 fee. Considering all of these facts, purchasing your own RID for $150-300 and flying elsewhere, will obviously be a cheaper option over the long haul!
I was an AMA holder for a year. I didn't renew and will never sign up with them again. If I can't just show up and fly, then something is wrong with your system.
I understand your frustration because I also fly Drones, but the one thing you have not considered is Ultralights cannot fly in controlled air space so they operate outside of populated areas. The Drones have been flying in controlled air space and being reported by pilots on a regular basis so Congress told the FAA to get involved, it sucks big time.
I have two more with more numbers and facts. I go over national security and the third one is on the temporary no fly zone over the president. Thanks for watching!
Great video with excellent points. One thing regarding injuries: you could argue that 99.99% of those injuries were to the pilots or operators themselves and not to members of the public. What kid hasn't been bitten by his model at some point? There are 100's of hobbies out there where people injure themselves. They aren't being controlled to the extent our hobby is and neither should they.
Please post more on your experience with the dB121. That appears to be the best module provider price/function balance that I’ve seen so far. Haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet. Our club has applied for FRIA, but I’m planning to have a compliant broadcast module in my kit as well.
Well said! It's important everybody understands what remote ID is and what is going on with our hobby 👍 What I was wondering in the meantime is what if someone puts remote ID modules on cabs, vehicles and garbage cans around an airport how much would this affect the air traffic?? Great video!!
If you do that and get caught it's a federal crime dude. FEDERAL! {thanks to the good people we elected} Just be aware and stay strong. RID will go away. and rec and 107 pilots will get back to normal
@@waltsaxton3961 since I posted last message, it's possible to spoof RID. All YT channels covered this that it's possible and how it can be done. That doesn't mean it's legal, but it can be done and it would be a disaster for an airport. That was originally my question.....
i think the reason for RID is shown within the video itself. i can see it being dangerous to run untracked drones which can lose connection, in the same airspace as paraglides, hot air balloons etc. because of possible collisions
The FAA barely has the resources right now to enforce manned aircraft rules and regulations...let alone the employee count or coherent systems in place to handle the added self-imposed burden of enforcing drone regulations. Unless you have a business and need to check a box, ignore remote ID and fly as you always do...safely and responsibly. Continue flying under the radar as it were.
Very informative video. We Part 107 pilots will have to comply, but we must ask the FAA, what sense does it make to include recreational flying of fixed wing and helicopter rc models?
WELL it doesn't BECAUSE shortly all RECREATIONAL operations will ONLY be Allowed in FRIA's and ONLY Part 107 will be ALLOWED to operate outside of them BECAUSE of all these facts below Lets get down to business. A once Hobbyists friend and Rep was the AMA once a true advocate for the Hobby, However over the last 15-20+ years they slowly was losing members and dollars. SO in their magazine editorials they hinted and implied a forced membership and a AMA club flying only mandate. When questioned they denied that and swore that was not their plan. Fast forward and we saw 336 in jeopardy of being removed. A once advocate who fought for 336 suddenly refused to do so. They skipped meetings and never attended hearings and their seat was empty. Their excuse on their own site was they did not need to attend. While various entities like DHS, Drone Alliance and the DoD were against the 336 , and spoke openly to remove it, the voice of the hobby to retain it never showed up SO Fast forward the sudden attack on the safest Aviation organization community is now demonized and called criminal . The AMA demands forced membership and FRIA flying only and have said so now for many years as I mentioned above . Now they have a Amendment they want installed in the FAA ReAuth Act that simple states they want Automatic CBO mandated FRIA creation and that means as the CBO's claim the FAA says everyone has to follow the CBO guides and IF that guide states IF you fly recreational you must do so in a FRIA guess what become the LAW ?... Now to enforce that fact, go back to Rich Hanson's Op Ed in the Hill a few years back in 2018 where he basically stated, "Punish rogue pilots not rule followers" .The title sounded great , but then read his ideology about it . He went on to say , " That anyone who flies must be of two classes. One must fly if Recreational under a CBO such as the AMA or they must fly under Part 107 ( commercial ) . He estimated that "nearly 200,000 all AMA members and 700,000 who were NOT AMA members"., He also stated UNLESS a person was flying under a CBO ( in this case the AMA ) and their standards they had to be flying Part 107 commercial and IF they did NOT have a part 107 License they were flying Illegal outside of that CBO demand. Then he stated that anyone who was NOT a AMA/CBO member was a criminal and a rogue and needed punished, His precise words were "Rogue flyers are Part 107 violators. We must, first and foremost, make clear the need to follow Part 107 if not operating within a community-based organization ( like the AMA ). And when someone violates Part 107, he or she needs to be held accountable ." SO now Flash Forward 2023 what do we have we have CBO's who claim we must follow their guides and suggestions OR we are flying illegally. Just like Hanson stated in 2018 . WE also have CBO's who say they are working for the Recreational community and one group lists their accomplishments on their web site that has benefited ONLY the commercial interests/Companies while even in their own words " recreational is EXCLUDED" from them all. Now these CBO's like the AMA wants a CBO FRIA Demand which might sound nice at first glance, BUT if made law under the FAA Reauth Act allows those like the AMA, FPVFC, FTCA and others the permission to FORCE paid membership and FORCED FRIA flying only the very thing the AMA has demanded now for over 15 years and as you read in the Op ed, that is basically what Hanson stated. These groups are now saying FRIA FIRST. So the FRIA claims is to make that a LAW by Congress that as Hanson stated in his Op Ed since only 200, 000 were CBO members the rest were not. Today we have over 2+ million operators in the US and the AMA numbers have not risen they have declined and why they want Forced membership, the FTCA has many members as does the FPVFC, BUT still the majority of Hobbyists do not belong to any CBO, and NEVER Fly in FRIA's ( Club fields ) and I might add NEVER Will. So what do they do ? They are criminals and rogues according to Hanson and they MUST BE Punished... remember that. THAT is the plan to make example of some of them to scare the rest into a FORCED CBO membership FRIA Flying Only The community asked for a 1 kg weight increase something we gave in our NPRM comments they ( the CBO groups now ) refused to listen then and IF a FRIA flying only there is NO weight limits and in special CBO sanctioned events there is NO 400 ft AGL Altitude limits either. So as you see as this mess progresses they are pushing hobbyists out of the skies EXCEPT in certain places they call a FRIA. The RID is a surveillance tool much like the registration was. Registration allowed the FAA and Congress to know how many people were flying "drones" ( that means every RC TOY we fly ) and was willing to follow their suggested rules. ( take note that registration was ruled illegal by the courts, but commercial lobbyists along WITH the AMA had it slipped into a defense bill that made it the law again ) SO the next step is this Remote ID. It is a surveillance tool to SEE and know who are those Part 107 folks who will use that Module as they to want to make the dollar and any recreational operators who do NOT fly in FRIA's NOW guess what happens when they note WHO and WHERE You are ? Right they will MOVE and or REMOVE you from the skies. The Commercial Drone Alliance demanded Congress to remove all Hobbyists from the skies so they can operate without interference or possible interactions with other drones. fast forward in the 2023 FAA ReAuth Act hearings those commercial Companies stated they MUST have the 400 ft AGL to the ground to operate and the UTM had to be created and mandated everyone else out of it .And currently over $23 BILLION was spent they estimate by 2030 that will be $58.7 BILLION . Money talks and Congress only see's $$ signs and they will do what these Billion dollar companies demand and they are using the FAA and their regs/rules to make it happen even skirting the Rule/Reg process . SO none of these CBO's are our Friends in fact they have sold us out and they have now openly admitted it and all those puzzle pieces and their sworn to secrecy claims now have been clearly Heard and seen. Their FRIA First statement and their demands to CBO automatic authority said it all . The Plan and scheme is now open for all to see and THAT is what WE need to let everyone know Our response just do not comply is not enough anymore, NOW it must be WE BOYCOTT all these businesses, these CBO's, and any and all entities be it Hobby shops, commercial users and these YT Guru's who demand our dollars while giving over to these regulations and worse pushing them to the community. TIME these entities take a hit on their bottom lines and they stop making money at our expense. THAT will make them and Congress the Media and everyone else take notice. Just like the Boycotts on Bud and Target stores among others. If Walmarts, Google, UPS or Amazon and any other business tied to commercial drone use get boycotted and their business takes a Money hit they will drop their dreams of delivery services and removing us for it and air taxis and or whatever nonsense they have claimed. Same goes for Hobby shops who promote this stuff and individuals who make a dollar off of it and now CBO's who have openly sold us out, they especially must take the Biggest hit of all because they were suppose to represent us, instead have sided with the regulators to end us and worse force us to pay them to do so . IF this happens without an end OUR RC Aviation HOBBY ceases to exist and the community will decline until it becomes meaningless and we lost yet another RIGHT and Freedom. When will this Community Wake Up to these REAL facts ?
@@FlyingBuzzard Thank you for your reply. I was about to renew my AMA membership, but for the reasons you state, I will risk flying my fixed wing and helicopters without the AMA insurance. I have no access to any site that would be certified as a FRIA and also I hate to be coerced into an organization that does not have our interests in mind. Maybe we should all boycott the AMA. I knew they were in bed with the FAA!!!
@@lucoha Just find a location away from the public if possible and or check to see if there are private places you can get permission to operate in and just fly and have fun and FYI the AMA insurance does not pay as they claim anyway your homeowners or other insurance ( if any ) has to be billed first any way before the AMA will even address any issues and 9 times out of 10 outside their Clubs they do not pay anyway.
@@FlyingBuzzard I agree with your summary of how this came about. My hope is that this second rate system proves highly unsuccessful and too much work for the FAA and not enough profit for the delivery drone/taxi operators. I like your idea of flying in a remote location with permissions
I agree and sympathize with you. I'm just a hobbyist, mostly fly fixed wing foamies, and a dji mavic mini for sunset pics and the like, but I was hoping to get into fpv. FAA RID stuff has really got me wondering how long I'm going to be able to continue to enjoy my favorite hobby. If I had a part 107 & business, I don't know what I'd do, but the answer is probably a mix of lying to potential customers about my compliance a bit if they asked and I wasn't actually 100% compliant, and skirt around/loophole my way around it as much as possible where it was harmful to business/profit. I almost never break any kind of rules. RID has me adamant to become a non-conformist in this regard though. If I can't do it with peace of mind and cops start hassling me, I guess the hobby is over for me.
Depending on where you live can help determine the future of the hobby for you. In Michigan, the state supports the FAA's authority in the skies. By Michigan law, local city, county or state my not pass laws restricting drone use. With just a few exceptions, the law can't even ask for ID. They can ask to see your TRUST certificate or Part107 license. Other than that, in Michigan, I'm safe-ish. My few run-ins with cops have been positive and they didn't care about me flying. Most see them in search and rescues or surveillance operations.
I appreciate the active 107 pilots that are complying so they can stay in business. It only sucks because we, the pure recreational pilots, will have to carry the burden to fight the FAA. Thanks for finding the registration numbers as well. They were even higher than the numbers I was able to find and only further proves XJet's point on registering. General Aviation has an average of 1 death per day every year in the US, and that requires a license. The FAA has never once acknowledged this point. I have brought it up in multiple live streams with the "FAA drone guy", emails, and comments on FAA videos and IG posts. Edit: I foresee the the FAA saying the "anti Karen" update will be a no no. In a way I hope they do as well, because that just strengthens the argument against it. We'll see i suppose...

as a 107 pilot I HATE RID !!! as a recreational pilot I HATE IT EVEN more !! That said, I will never be for it, and will fight against it always. But as 107 I have to comply to keep my business. Just hold steady brother. You watch what happens after sept. 16 The FAA is going to be overwhelmed by it all. They won't be able to handle the numbers, either from 107 or rec pilots. RID WILL go away. Just like cb and ham radio licenses. Hold steady and hold strong brother.
@@waltsaxton3961 Well the issue is IF the CBO's get their amendment passed, RID will ONLY exist for Part 107 commercial as all Recreational ( 44809 ) will be FORCED into FRIA's ( at least that is their plan and what their amendment basically does ) So, I will not comply regardless, but that is the scheme they have been working on for years....
I just built a new 5 inch quad with a 30x30 stack, DJI o3, the small Happymodel elrs receiver and a capacitor with a spike absorber on it. I struggled to get all of this stuff to fit in my Apex clone frame. I had to remove one of the standoffs to get the spike absorber and capacitor to fit. Unless I modify the frame I don't know where I am going to fit the module in it.
@@shadowofchaosfpv4683 The reason I haven't gotten a part 107 yet was so I could still be under the hobbies regulations. It looks like it's time to start studying.
@CarbonGlassMan I used the UAS107 app to study. The 107 test has alot of general aviation questions that some study guides miss. Airport landing direction, airspace grades A to G, stuff like that. All the information you need is free to search and read on the FAA website, but the guides and classes give you exactly what you need.
Drones are way more capable and scarier than any of those that you mentioned., Paragliders, hot air balloons etc FAA aren't really concerned about them. Drones are being used in war on a daily basis now. I'm an FPV drone hobbyist as a freestyle pilot and I can do some crazy maneuvers. This is why the FAA is regulating drones, they can be a force to be reckon with in the wrong hands. Pretty simple to figure out really.
If they bring this in where I live, and it seems we follow the US in most things RC flight, I guess I will find all flight's that I post will be from archived video before the rule change.
Great video. No problem from me. I'm in the same position. I like your approach to be lawful. I also like your approach pointing out the myriad of problems with this poorly thought out system. I feel embarrassed for the FAA. Is this the best they can come up with? The hypocrisy of the whole thing is astounding.
I dont have a problem with it for commercial drones. Commercial vehichles have special requirements, be it special plates or like most states having the name address and phone number promintly displayed.
The difference in ultralights is that they can't be flown ANYWHERE near or over a populated area and there are relatively very few of them. But, if they start causing problems I guarantee they will be included in RID or worse ADS-B that records all your flying activities. So really, everyone needs to stop trying to throw ultralights under the bus, they weren't doing crazy things in the city. At least not since the 80's and that's when they got thier regulation that killed it's popularity until powered paragliders.
One thing you didn't mentioned, is that even as a recreational uav operator you have to take the T.R.U.S.T. exam. Though it is free and online, ultralight aircraft pilots don't even need to take any knowledge exam. They can just go fly, albeit they are to stay in unpopulated areas.
I appreciate and share your concerns as a professional myself. Your examples you brought up were all for manned aircraft unless I missed something. I feel like the autonomous nature could be the concern or the FAA just wants to secure the airspace for future corporate needs. Thanks for the discussion though....it's needed.

These groups are now saying FRIA FIRST. So the FRIA claims is to make that a LAW by Congress that as Hanson stated in his Op Ed since only 200, 000 were CBO members the rest were not. Today we have over 2+ million operators in the US and the AMA numbers have not risen they have declined and why they want Forced membership, the FTCA has many members as does the FPVFC, BUT still the majority of Hobbyists do not belong to any CBO, and NEVER Fly in FRIA's ( Club fields ) and I might add NEVER Will. So what do they do ? They are criminals and rogues according to Hanson and they MUST BE Punished... remember that. THAT is the plan to make example of some of them to scare the rest into a FORCED CBO membership FRIA Flying Only The community asked for a 1 kg weight increase something we gave in our NPRM comments they ( the CBO groups now ) refused to listen then and IF a FRIA flying only there is NO weight limits and in special CBO sanctioned events there is NO 400 ft AGL Altitude limits either. So as you see as this mess progresses they are pushing hobbyists out of the skies EXCEPT in certain places they call a FRIA. The RID is a surveillance tool much like the registration was. Registration allowed the FAA and Congress to know how many people were flying "drones" ( that means every RC TOY we fly ) and was willing to follow their suggested rules. ( take note that registration was ruled illegal by the courts, but commercial lobbyists along WITH the AMA had it slipped into a defense bill that made it the law again ) SO the next step is this Remote ID. It is a surveillance tool to SEE and know who are those Part 107 folks who will use that Module as they to want to make the dollar and any recreational operators who do NOT fly in FRIA's NOW guess what happens when they note WHO and WHERE You are ? Right they will MOVE and or REMOVE you from the skies. The Commercial Drone Alliance demanded Congress to remove all Hobbyists from the skies so they can operate without interference or possible interactions with other drones. fast forward in the 2023 FAA ReAuth Act hearings those commercial Companies stated they MUST have the 400 ft AGL to the ground to operate and the UTM had to be created and mandated everyone else out of it .And currently over $23 BILLION was spent they estimate by 2030 that will be $58.7 BILLION . Money talks and Congress only see's $$ signs and they will do what these Billion dollar companies demand and they are using the FAA and their regs/rules to make it happen even skirting the Rule/Reg process . SO none of these CBO's are our Friends in fact they have sold us out and they have now openly admitted it and all those puzzle pieces and their sworn to secrecy claims now have been clearly Heard and seen. Their FRIA First statement and their demands to CBO automatic authority said it all . The Plan and scheme is now open for all to see and THAT is what WE need to let everyone know Our response just do not comply is not enough anymore, NOW it must be WE BOYCOTT all these businesses, these CBO's, and any and all entities be it Hobby shops, commercial users and these YT Guru's who demand our dollars while giving over to these regulations and worse pushing them to the community. TIME these entities take a hit on their bottom lines and they stop making money at our expense. THAT will make them and Congress the Media and everyone else take notice. Just like the Boycotts on Bud and Target stores among others. If Walmarts, Google, UPS or Amazon and any other business tied to commercial drone use get boycotted and their business takes a Money hit they will drop their dreams of delivery services and removing us for it and air taxis and or whatever nonsense they have claimed. Same goes for Hobby shops who promote this stuff and individuals who make a dollar off of it and now CBO's who have openly sold us out, they especially must take the Biggest hit of all because they were suppose to represent us, instead have sided with the regulators to end us and worse force us to pay them to do so . IF this happens without an end OUR RC Aviation HOBBY ceases to exist and the community will decline until it becomes meaningless and we lost yet another RIGHT and Freedom. When will this Community Wake Up to these REAL facts ?
Everyone is entitled to do as they please for or against and everyone reaps what they sow by every decision they make in life...with that being said here are some REAL facts as to why all this is happening Lets get down to business. A once Hobbyists friend and Rep was the AMA once a true advocate for the Hobby, However over the last 15-20+ years they slowly was losing members and dollars. SO in their magazine editorials they hinted and implied a forced membership and a AMA club flying only mandate. When questioned they denied that and swore that was not their plan. Fast forward and we saw 336 in jeopardy of being removed. A once advocate who fought for 336 suddenly refused to do so. They skipped meetings and never attended hearings and their seat was empty. Their excuse on their own site was they did not need to attend. While various entities like DHS, Drone Alliance and the DoD were against the 336 , and spoke openly to remove it, the voice of the hobby to retain it never showed up SO Fast forward the sudden attack on the safest Aviation organization community is now demonized and called criminal . The AMA demands forced membership and FRIA flying only and have said so now for many years as I mentioned above . Now they have a Amendment they want installed in the FAA ReAuth Act that simple states they want Automatic CBO mandated FRIA creation and that means as the CBO's claim the FAA says everyone has to follow the CBO guides and IF that guide states IF you fly recreational you must do so in a FRIA guess what become the LAW ?... Now to enforce that fact, go back to Rich Hanson's Op Ed in the Hill a few years back in 2018 where he basically stated, "Punish rogue pilots not rule followers" .The title sounded great , but then read his ideology about it . He went on to say , " That anyone who flies must be of two classes. One must fly if Recreational under a CBO such as the AMA or they must fly under Part 107 ( commercial ) . He estimated that "nearly 200,000 all AMA members and 700,000 who were NOT AMA members"., He also stated UNLESS a person was flying under a CBO ( in this case the AMA ) and their standards they had to be flying Part 107 commercial and IF they did NOT have a part 107 License they were flying Illegal outside of that CBO demand. Then he stated that anyone who was NOT a AMA/CBO member was a criminal and a rogue and needed punished, His precise words were "Rogue flyers are Part 107 violators. We must, first and foremost, make clear the need to follow Part 107 if not operating within a community-based organization ( like the AMA ). And when someone violates Part 107, he or she needs to be held accountable ." SO now Flash Forward 2023 what do we have we have CBO's who claim we must follow their guides and suggestions OR we are flying illegally. Just like Hanson stated in 2018 . WE also have CBO's who say they are working for the Recreational community and one group lists their accomplishments on their web site that has benefited ONLY the commercial interests/Companies while even in their own words " recreational is EXCLUDED" from them all. Now these CBO's like the AMA wants a CBO FRIA Demand which might sound nice at first glance, BUT if made law under the FAA Reauth Act allows those like the AMA, FPVFC, FTCA and others the permission to FORCE paid membership and FORCED FRIA flying only the very thing the AMA has demanded now for over 15 years and as you read in the Op ed, that is basically what Hanson stated.

sadly, companies lobbyist are doing a great job in the FAA and Senate, and our politicians every day are more close to the companies profits than the people they represents.
part 107 is super hard for me to get, I don't have $175 to register and I have to drive over 100 miles to a testing center. I've been doing practice tests for months and still miss questions. It's a giant pain in the ass, when I could just hop in an ultralight and fly. I think I might take up ultralights until they ruin that too. Anyone loan me an ultralight, gas money and $175 to take my part 107?
Great video man ..Does the original old mavic pro (manufactured 6/2017)have RFID already ? Or ... Is there an easy way to tell?? And by the way it's not had a software update since probably about 2020 version 01.04.0300 which was the last vrsn with which you could go back. 😅 asking for a friend.
So now Karen knows who you are and where you are and now she will walk to you and enforce her bullshit .. Outlaws for ever. Is the FAA paying for this?
Simple !! Do not comply. The more that do the harder this fight will be.. we gotta stand and fight.. I will never register. I will fly. And to hell with all 3 letter tyrants.
Am I correct in assuming that I can fly an FPV sub-250g craft around my yard without RID ? Now, if I do NOT monetize, can I post to TH-cam ? Some of these FAA "rules" still seem vague for a guy that just wants to play with a toy in his own yard.... and share with friends.
Unless you live near an airport, prison or national park, you will be hard to catch. But posting a video on TH-cam will get you noticed and it is one of the things everyone is watching.
You may notice my avatar. At 5:16 you explain how hang glider pilots die more often than paraglider pilots. Well, this is just not the case. The stats are at least reversed. Deaths in hang gliding are more skill related, while in paragliders deaths are more wind/weather related. And for paraglider occupants the weather/winds can seem fine by observation on the ground but after take off you can still get slammed to the ground and get hurt or die. Hang gliders, with their aircraft aluminum air frame, can't "collapse" or "deflate" due to turbulence. In hang gliders we feel bumps and perhaps a mild involuntary turn (which is usually easily corrected) but our wing keeps flying. Paragliders, which are a larger form of "ram air" parachute, can collapse in turbulence and lose their airfoil shape - and therefore start to fall to the ground below. When learning to paraglide people are actually taught how to recover from canopy collapses. This is something hang glider pilots never have to worry about. Here's an online article on the comparative risks between sports - chessintheair.com/the-risk-of-dying-doing-what-we-love/ Since I also fly quadcopters it is very important to ask, . . . has ANYONE DIED flying a sUAS? The risk of death while flying a sUAS is ZERO - unless someone has had a heart attack or stroke while flying one. I'm sure that's happened a few times in the past 70 years. But the sUAS is clearly not what killed them.
Thank you from the hang gliding and para gliding perspectives. It's harder to find people who do those activities because you see them in the air, not on the ground.
@@shadowofchaosfpv4683 Your statistics for paragliding sound wrong, in France there are less than 10 fatalities a year for a population of 50000 pilots. You don't require a license there as well, only third party insurance is mandatory.
The more development I see with Remote ID, & see the evidence for it, it wouldn't surprise me that the folks what are shouting (in the comments section of any & every video what touches Remote ID with so much as a 10 m pole) "I WILL NOT COMPLY!" I am willing to wager that _those_ people are willingly incriminating themselves simply because they disagree with Remote ID, & they will be _the first_ demographic to be targeted by the FAA (whether directly or indirectly is irrelevant). Wilful noncompliance is _not_ the way to fight it. The time to _actually_ fight it & say to both the FAA & Congress alike that we do not want nor need it for recreational flyers has already passed. Now, the best thing anyone can do is advocate for Remote ID to become more permissive than the red herring that is the so-called "FRIAs". However, I am _yet_ to see evidence of anyone doing this instead of insisting on incriminating themselves with wilful noncompliance. Here is my example of advocating for Remote ID to become more permissive: For recreational flyers, we do not need Remote ID on _any_ of our aircraft (helicopters, planes, quad copters etc). Commercial drone operations (provided they are above 250 grams &/or above a certain physical size), fine. Give those ones Remote ID. Regulate the absolute snot out of commercial drone operations. Leave the recreational flyers out of it. I am also aware that, over your way, you guys do not have what is called a "Shielded Operations Zone". That is where your service ceiling (IE Your maximum operating altitude) is no higher than the tallest artificial or natural object within a horizontal 100 metre radius of you (the operator). That "Shielded Operations Zone" is _only_ applicable if you are flying within a 4 kilometre radius of an aerodrome or heliport. Here in New Zealand, that is what we have, & it works. You guys _need_ to have "Shielded Operations Zones" or an equivalent to that. I believe that anything what is flown within a Shielded Operations Zone does not need to have Remote ID, because other crewed aircraft are highly unlikely to be occupying that same sliver of airspace as you. 👆 That is my 10 cents worth on the subject.
Not that im on the side of the faa or any government expansion, you have to take into account the number of people who fly drones. And compare that to 103 pilots and baloon pilots. There are thousands of drones to every 103 ultralight. And probably a million to every baloon. Honestly i think its a money play for thr faa.
There is a good one for $40 i ordered one i dont have a 107 your only suposed to have one module that you put on if you have multiple drones they dont want you to have one for each im gonna just use one so i dont get bothered
Just throwing this out there, that Aliendrone anit-karen update; Wouldn't that be a sweeter pill to swallow for the hobby user? Remote ID module transmits all the time to the PoPo. Fine; Don't want Karen to see? Turn Karen mode off.
As a recreational flyer, I too will comply, and I mean on everything I fly, 250g or less and even my Nitro trainer. I mainly fly at a great AMA club that for more 20 years was located about a 1km from the busy approach of a large Nasa/F16 squadron/Air Force UAS unit/Coast Guard/Flight training and commercial airfield under Class B with an agreement to fly and clearly noted on air charts. I really hope they are collecting RID data on all of us, and that they publish said data that will undoubtedly show what we have known for so many years. And that is the fact that we already have in place operating procedure, discussion and training, compliance and discipline over those that for whatever reasons might find themselves in infliction with UAV and or Hu-Manned controlled craft. Our club moved a couple miles away from that busy approach, but we still take preemptive and clearly exaggerated care to avoid any contact with our model planes and multi-rotors for if we were indeed in their craft's seat we would want a wide berth too.

By the way we have experienced a visit from an FBI agent in response to a multi-rotor flight that reportedly occurred at the opposite side and at some great altitude of this airfield. So, if RID could have ID'd that idiot easily for the purpose of assessing their character associated with such a risk so as to take an appropriate action IE warning, education, fine, arrest that might highlight an appropriate use case if stupid continues to increase.
I have said before and will say again. You have the right to have your thought put out there. Eveyone is in a different spot in life whether be 107 makes a living or rippin dippin. You do what you need to do! Sorry about hate mail ur probably getting. I appreciate you posting you thoughts. Makes sence bro. You do you. And thank you
Whataboutisms are not a helpful argument honestly. The FAA claim to fame of safety is about "dangers to others" not to the pilots. (still not deaths) Remember a 2 lb drone "could take down" an airliner according to the FAA. It also moved to "national security" and terrorism" (thanks to Ukraine war footage) and dropping ordinances on things. Still makes no sense to be over regulated to you point.
Just to point out, 2lbs is just over 900g. So to follow the logic, FAA is concerned with drones at a significantly higher mass than what they are imposing RID on. Cheers!
I'm a 107 FAA pilot also drone pilot I also work for the government retired now I have multiple drones just an idea but who is to say that the footage was in taken from another drone that is commercially licensed and remote ID I mean just something to ponder but you can always say that it was your official drone that took the footage and you edit it
Minimum Compliance is the plan. ONE freestyle drone has RID and my DJI is covered for me to be legal. I own close to 20 quads in all sizes but just one module is all I am buying.
How many people. Are gonna k ow enough to download a drone scanner app? I don't think many. I'm totally against this shit! I wanna upgrade but I wanna see how this plays out first. Next we humans will. Need a remote ID under our skin. Don't laugh! 🤔
hi im in the uk rid sucks i fly a hubsan mini pro sub 250 where can i strap a rid tag on it you got bigger problems lol its stupid our bmfa did naff all to fight rid never mind happy flying
I have 5 DJI Drones the Mini 2 mini 3 and mini 3 pro I also have the mavic air 2 and Air 2s only 3 of them have the Remote ID both mini 3 and mini 3 pro and air 2s I am not flying under part 107 so my sub 250 mini drones don’t need RID even though 2 of them have it already. I have all 5 of them registered with the FAA I saw a Facebook post that a guy with a mavic air 2 could not update his registration because his mavic air 2 wasn’t compliant. So that’s an issue I will be facing. So I will have to unregister my mavic air 2 because I just don’t have 300.00 to purchase a drone tag. You said 199.00 every where I looked it says 299.00 I also have around 8 fpv drones that I would have to purchase remote id for. I don’t have 2400.00 so unless they come up with a cheaper option then I will either sell some of my drones or just fly in rural remote areas where I don’t have to worry. If I am flying a fpv drone with out GPS and rid or any other drone tracking equipment in a hollow between two mountains where I have 4 miles with no people around nobody’s going to know.
Just put RID module on one freestyle quad and don't say what drone you used. I have 20 quads but am getting one module for all my footage. FAA doesn't know what drone I used to get freestyle footage as long as one is registered and compliant.
you delivered that perfectly. Anti-Karen update, love it! I feel that you gotta do what you need to keep that business going, man. I'm pretty sure that if sht hit the fan, you would be left to take care of that bill on your own, no subs, no youtube, no Discord, not even a GoFundMe, think you'd have to ask for donations or something, but still. I could be wrong, but until the day that the community gets some type of real representation such as an attorney that will eat up the FAA in court every time they mess with a pilot for no real reason, Part 107 pilots are kinda stuck like chuck for now. Great video man, really informative✌
Thanks for speaking up and helping raise the profile of this issue.
Thanks. I wanted a different message other than bad FAA.
Yep though very 😢
Your here first !!!!!
@@shadowofchaosfpv4683 👍💪✌
Remote ID isn't about safety or security. It is about eliminating our hobby so that the sky's are free for corporation drones.
That's what they want you to believe but no commercial operations get any benefits from FAA. USA is the 3rd world of drone business... Cameras are the problems for the US government...
Yea I agree, you guys have more train tracks than anywhere else in the world but you don’t have any bullet trains why? The vast majority of your rails are owned by corporations your passenger trains has to rent tracks from them, the air will be the same soon
Holy sh!t, the fact that neither ultra-lites or paragliders don't require anything even CLOSE to RID is insane!
Excellent video and super-informative. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏
DO NOT COMPLY!!!!
Don’t comply its simple, and to say that you are part 107 you have to comply is bullcrap you don’t! You will still get jobs they aren’t sending out letters fuck them
Hey man, just wanted to say I've watched a lot of independent creators videos about RID, and I'd have to say that yours was the most enjoyable to listen to. You make excellent points, you did it in a concise way, and I agree with you almost entirely. I'm Canadian, so this hasn't affected me so far, there's been new drone regulation tweaks presented recently in Canada and luckily none of them had anything to do with RID yet, but we can assume that after you guys get all squared away, we will be following shortly afterwards. It's a bummer, but I think Ken Heron is correct in thinking that this will only be a think for a few years before it gets phased out or it becomes too expensive to enforce. 🤞🏻
I truly think that the FAA is not qualified to answer your questions.
THEY NEED 100000 CALLS A DAY
For paramotors and ultra lights?
Thanks for the video, what they don't say about those "cut fingers" how many were by the pilots themselves
Bravo, sir. Great video. 1st-time viewer here & i honestly had my doubts when I saw your basement setting, but i'm glad i didn't judge your book by your cover because I genuinely learned some things from you today.
I had no idea that all the aircraft you presented as examples - and they absolutely ARE aircraft - don't require a license or registration & aren't even considered "aircraft" by the FAA. That is absolute nonsense, and as a commercial UAV pilot it is downright maddening.
+1 subscriber. I look forward to your follow-up installation video. (please tell us you'll be making a follow-up installation video.)
Nobody has ever cut their fingers with a drone and said “dammit this thing needs regulations” if you hurt yourself with your own drone it shouldn’t be on a statistic
Need a hack to prevent the module from sending pilot location, the rest of the info it sends let them have
Well done and thank you.
Comon sense may prevale in the end.
If model aircraft are to have remote ID, be registered, and require per flight notification then all manned aircraft should require ADSB, registration and a license for the pilot.
Thanks for your input on the subject
You made many great points !!! Thanks for video ,gave me many great ideas. You make your money !! I fly for a hobby. Like u said the Cops around here don't care about drones either.
I'm in Canada and for now there is no talk of RID, but I can see it coming to Canada in the next four or five years. I have about 7 aircraft registered most are RC airplanes.
Thanks for offering a different view point i never thought about RID!
It's not about safety at all. It's about money. For some reason, they seem to think there is more money made in this hobby than there is in all of the other aviation sport.
Remote ID is not about safety. Every criminal and Karen with a cellphone will know where the RC pilot is but no full scale aircraft will know where an RC aircraft is.
This was a fantastic video. Absolutely fantastic, informative, and great arguments.
great perspective you were able to provide
I like the points you're making - before you submit it I would recheck your hang glider number though. It's got to be lower than 1 in 100 hang gliders yielding death per year. You said 3.5 deaths per year, that would only be 350 hang gliders in the entire country. Again, gotta be more.
No hate man. I get it. I really like the angle you took with pictures and stats. Do what you gotta do to feel safe while flying and operating your business. Hope it goes well for you.
This is how the remore id law needs to be challenged in court of law. The facts all these other craft are more dangerous and require no license or registration is very compelling!
Ok my take , flying a timber in a field and 5k away from airport rid is overreach and crazy flying bvlos long distance like I do full nav lights and rid , I’m happy with but it’s not about safety it’s about control
So basically add a little plastic box with 3 green LEDS on it. Got'cha.
I expect the law enforcement officers will be forced to watch a training video on what to look for and inspect. But that is if they even care. Every officer I met flying knew what it was and thought it was cool. Most encounter drones in search and rescues for people. Ice fishing accidents where people get trapped on ice.
Excellent
When laws are unjust it is our duty to not comply.
Excellent points, very good video.. thank you
Fantastic video.
BBOOOOOTTTT! Thanks bro!
The distinction is that Para motors, Para gliders, hang gliders and hot air balloons with a pilot on board are not drones.
Ps. I'm an RC hobbyist who is not in favor of Remote ID.
Valid questions! Thanks for sharing.
Hmm, If I have a home-built sub 250 craft that is pushed over the 250 limit by the remoted ID module how is the craft now classified?
Is the craft registered? If it already is, okay. If it is not registered than I would and add the RID number and you are good.
Where's all the FRIAs at faa, wtf
A little plastic 3d printed box with a 3 green led on a watch battery and a switch, toss in a 3mm blinking blue one for "authenticity "😅
Completely agree with your points. I need to dig more into any BVLOS exceptions especially WRT to flying FPV drones, but I believe the same sort of issue exists here. The manned no- and low-powered craft has very few restrictions - can they see THAT much better to justify how the laws restrict drone pilots flying FPV at just beyond VLOS (from the spotter, since the FPV pilot cannot ever see the whole drone)? I want to comply with the laws and I understand the goals of the laws, but I feel like there need to be more exceptions such as within unpopulated / very sparsely populated spaces.
I am still looking for a good stand alone option.
Yes, the cost of available RID’s are a little expensive, but for a recreational flyer at a designated FRIA there are hidden costs. All FRIA’s are typically AMA organizations. In order to fly at one of these locations, you will have to have a AMA membership card. There may also be an additional charge to be a member of that specific club. Yearly full AMA memberships are $85 ($75 for 65 & older). AMA also has a yearly Park Pilot membership for electric aircraft less than 2lbs and slower than 60mph. A local Oklahoma City club (TORKS) stated on their website that the city is considering charging each member a yearly $50 fee. Considering all of these facts, purchasing your own RID for $150-300 and flying elsewhere, will obviously be a cheaper option over the long haul!
I was an AMA holder for a year. I didn't renew and will never sign up with them again. If I can't just show up and fly, then something is wrong with your system.
I understand your frustration because I also fly Drones, but the one thing you have not considered is Ultralights cannot fly in controlled air space so they operate outside of populated areas. The Drones have been flying in controlled air space and being reported by pilots on a regular basis so Congress told the FAA to get involved, it sucks big time.
Dude, I was so close to making a video just like this with all the data! Thank you for doing it for me! Great job!
I have two more with more numbers and facts. I go over national security and the third one is on the temporary no fly zone over the president. Thanks for watching!
I think next the FDA will regulate Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Great video with excellent points. One thing regarding injuries: you could argue that 99.99% of those injuries were to the pilots or operators themselves and not to members of the public. What kid hasn't been bitten by his model at some point? There are 100's of hobbies out there where people injure themselves. They aren't being controlled to the extent our hobby is and neither should they.
Thanks for the Awareness to the Algorithm 😊
Please post more on your experience with the dB121. That appears to be the best module provider price/function balance that I’ve seen so far. Haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet. Our club has applied for FRIA, but I’m planning to have a compliant broadcast module in my kit as well.
Great video man and well said. You do what have to do
Well said! It's important everybody understands what remote ID is and what is going on with our hobby 👍
What I was wondering in the meantime is what if someone puts remote ID modules on cabs, vehicles and garbage cans around an airport how much would this affect the air traffic??
Great video!!
If you do that and get caught it's a federal crime dude. FEDERAL! {thanks to the good people we elected} Just be aware and stay strong. RID will go away. and rec and 107 pilots will get back to normal
@@waltsaxton3961 since I posted last message, it's possible to spoof RID. All YT channels covered this that it's possible and how it can be done. That doesn't mean it's legal, but it can be done and it would be a disaster for an airport. That was originally my question.....
i think the reason for RID is shown within the video itself. i can see it being dangerous to run untracked drones which can lose connection, in the same airspace as paraglides, hot air balloons etc. because of possible collisions
good for you.
The FAA barely has the resources right now to enforce manned aircraft rules and regulations...let alone the employee count or coherent systems in place to handle the added self-imposed burden of enforcing drone regulations. Unless you have a business and need to check a box, ignore remote ID and fly as you always do...safely and responsibly. Continue flying under the radar as it were.
It will be interesting to see what happens after it goes into effect. My guess is, not much but a small blip of reports of fines.
great info and i can understand why you need it myself i will not comply
Very informative video. We Part 107 pilots will have to comply, but we must ask the FAA,
what sense does it make to include recreational flying of fixed wing and helicopter rc models?
WELL it doesn't BECAUSE shortly all RECREATIONAL operations will ONLY be Allowed in FRIA's and ONLY Part 107 will be ALLOWED to operate outside of them
BECAUSE of all these facts below
Lets get down to business. A once Hobbyists friend and Rep was the AMA once a true advocate for the Hobby, However over the last 15-20+ years they slowly was losing members and dollars. SO in their magazine editorials they hinted and implied a forced membership and a AMA club flying only mandate. When questioned they denied that and swore that was not their plan.
Fast forward and we saw 336 in jeopardy of being removed. A once advocate who fought for 336 suddenly refused to do so. They skipped meetings and never attended hearings and their seat was empty. Their excuse on their own site was they did not need to attend. While various entities like DHS, Drone Alliance and the DoD were against the 336 , and spoke openly to remove it, the voice of the hobby to retain it never showed up
SO Fast forward the sudden attack on the safest Aviation organization community is now demonized and called criminal .
The AMA demands forced membership and FRIA flying only and have said so now for many years as I mentioned above .
Now they have a Amendment they want installed in the FAA ReAuth Act that simple states they want Automatic CBO mandated FRIA creation and that means as the CBO's claim the FAA says everyone has to follow the CBO guides and IF that guide states IF you fly recreational you must do so in a FRIA guess what become the LAW ?...
Now to enforce that fact, go back to Rich Hanson's Op Ed in the Hill a few years back in 2018 where he basically stated, "Punish rogue pilots not rule followers" .The title sounded great , but then read his ideology about it .
He went on to say , " That anyone who flies must be of two classes. One must fly if Recreational under a CBO such as the AMA or they must fly under Part 107 ( commercial ) . He estimated that "nearly 200,000 all AMA members and 700,000 who were NOT AMA members"., He also stated UNLESS a person was flying under a CBO ( in this case the AMA ) and their standards they had to be flying Part 107 commercial and IF they did NOT have a part 107 License they were flying Illegal outside of that CBO demand. Then he stated that anyone who was NOT a AMA/CBO member was a criminal and a rogue and needed punished,
His precise words were "Rogue flyers are Part 107 violators. We must, first and foremost, make clear the need to follow Part 107 if not operating within a community-based organization ( like the AMA ). And when someone violates Part 107, he or she needs to be held accountable ."
SO now Flash Forward 2023 what do we have we have CBO's who claim we must follow their guides and suggestions OR we are flying illegally. Just like Hanson stated in 2018 . WE also have CBO's who say they are working for the Recreational community and one group lists their accomplishments on their web site that has benefited ONLY the commercial interests/Companies while even in their own words " recreational is EXCLUDED" from them all.
Now these CBO's like the AMA wants a CBO FRIA Demand which might sound nice at first glance, BUT if made law under the FAA Reauth Act allows those like the AMA, FPVFC, FTCA and others the permission to FORCE paid membership and FORCED FRIA flying only the very thing the AMA has demanded now for over 15 years and as you read in the Op ed, that is basically what Hanson stated.
These groups are now saying FRIA FIRST. So the FRIA claims is to make that a LAW by Congress that as Hanson stated in his Op Ed since only 200, 000 were CBO members the rest were not. Today we have over 2+ million operators in the US and the AMA numbers have not risen they have declined and why they want Forced membership, the FTCA has many members as does the FPVFC, BUT still the majority of Hobbyists do not belong to any CBO, and NEVER Fly in FRIA's ( Club fields ) and I might add NEVER Will. So what do they do ? They are criminals and rogues according to Hanson and they MUST BE Punished... remember that. THAT is the plan to make example of some of them to scare the rest into a FORCED CBO membership FRIA Flying Only
The community asked for a 1 kg weight increase something we gave in our NPRM comments they ( the CBO groups now ) refused to listen then and IF a FRIA flying only there is NO weight limits and in special CBO sanctioned events there is NO 400 ft AGL Altitude limits either.
So as you see as this mess progresses they are pushing hobbyists out of the skies EXCEPT in certain places they call a FRIA.
The RID is a surveillance tool much like the registration was. Registration allowed the FAA and Congress to know how many people were flying "drones" ( that means every RC TOY we fly ) and was willing to follow their suggested rules. ( take note that registration was ruled illegal by the courts, but commercial lobbyists along WITH the AMA had it slipped into a defense bill that made it the law again ) SO the next step is this Remote ID.
It is a surveillance tool to SEE and know who are those Part 107 folks who will use that Module as they to want to make the dollar and any recreational operators who do NOT fly in FRIA's
NOW guess what happens when they note WHO and WHERE You are ? Right they will MOVE and or REMOVE you from the skies.
The Commercial Drone Alliance demanded Congress to remove all Hobbyists from the skies so they can operate without interference or possible interactions with other drones. fast forward in the 2023 FAA ReAuth Act hearings those commercial Companies stated they MUST have the 400 ft AGL to the ground to operate and the UTM had to be created and mandated everyone else out of it .And currently over $23 BILLION was spent they estimate by 2030 that will be $58.7 BILLION .
Money talks and Congress only see's $$ signs and they will do what these Billion dollar companies demand and they are using the FAA and their regs/rules to make it happen even skirting the Rule/Reg process .
SO none of these CBO's are our Friends in fact they have sold us out and they have now openly admitted it and all those puzzle pieces and their sworn to secrecy claims now have been clearly Heard and seen. Their FRIA First statement and their demands to CBO automatic authority said it all . The Plan and scheme is now open for all to see and THAT is what WE need to let everyone know
Our response just do not comply is not enough anymore, NOW it must be WE BOYCOTT all these businesses, these CBO's, and any and all entities be it Hobby shops, commercial users and these YT Guru's who demand our dollars while giving over to these regulations and worse pushing them to the community.
TIME these entities take a hit on their bottom lines and they stop making money at our expense. THAT will make them and Congress the Media and everyone else take notice. Just like the Boycotts on Bud and Target stores among others.
If Walmarts, Google, UPS or Amazon and any other business tied to commercial drone use get boycotted and their business takes a Money hit they will drop their dreams of delivery services and removing us for it and air taxis and or whatever nonsense they have claimed.
Same goes for Hobby shops who promote this stuff and individuals who make a dollar off of it and now CBO's who have openly sold us out, they especially must take the Biggest hit of all because they were suppose to represent us, instead have sided with the regulators to end us and worse force us to pay them to do so .
IF this happens without an end OUR RC Aviation HOBBY ceases to exist and the community will decline until it becomes meaningless and we lost yet another RIGHT and Freedom.
When will this Community Wake Up to these REAL facts ?
@@FlyingBuzzard Thank you for your reply. I was about to renew my AMA
membership, but for the reasons you state, I will risk flying my fixed wing and
helicopters without the AMA insurance. I have no access to any site that would be certified as a FRIA and also I hate to be coerced into an organization that
does not have our interests in mind. Maybe we should all boycott the AMA.
I knew they were in bed with the FAA!!!
@@lucoha Just find a location away from the public if possible and or check to see if there are private places you can get permission to operate in and just fly and have fun and FYI the AMA insurance does not pay as they claim anyway your homeowners or other insurance ( if any ) has to be billed first any way before the AMA will even address any issues and 9 times out of 10 outside their Clubs they do not pay anyway.
@@FlyingBuzzard I agree with your summary of how this came about. My hope is that this second rate system proves highly unsuccessful and too much work for the FAA and not enough profit for the delivery drone/taxi operators. I like your idea of flying in a remote location with permissions
@@Coops777 I agree
That's if your Congressmen gets your letter. And I bet that if they do, they will throw to side or away!
Would be interested to hear how you would select an RID module which is only FAA compliant, but does not allow Apps to monitor it.
Nice video.
Why tf does that matter? I’d much rather be tracked my apps than the FAA
I agree and sympathize with you. I'm just a hobbyist, mostly fly fixed wing foamies, and a dji mavic mini for sunset pics and the like, but I was hoping to get into fpv. FAA RID stuff has really got me wondering how long I'm going to be able to continue to enjoy my favorite hobby. If I had a part 107 & business, I don't know what I'd do, but the answer is probably a mix of lying to potential customers about my compliance a bit if they asked and I wasn't actually 100% compliant, and skirt around/loophole my way around it as much as possible where it was harmful to business/profit. I almost never break any kind of rules. RID has me adamant to become a non-conformist in this regard though. If I can't do it with peace of mind and cops start hassling me, I guess the hobby is over for me.
Depending on where you live can help determine the future of the hobby for you. In Michigan, the state supports the FAA's authority in the skies. By Michigan law, local city, county or state my not pass laws restricting drone use. With just a few exceptions, the law can't even ask for ID. They can ask to see your TRUST certificate or Part107 license. Other than that, in Michigan, I'm safe-ish. My few run-ins with cops have been positive and they didn't care about me flying. Most see them in search and rescues or surveillance operations.
I appreciate the active 107 pilots that are complying so they can stay in business. It only sucks because we, the pure recreational pilots, will have to carry the burden to fight the FAA.
Thanks for finding the registration numbers as well. They were even higher than the numbers I was able to find and only further proves XJet's point on registering.
General Aviation has an average of 1 death per day every year in the US, and that requires a license. The FAA has never once acknowledged this point. I have brought it up in multiple live streams with the "FAA drone guy", emails, and comments on FAA videos and IG posts.
Edit:
I foresee the the FAA saying the "anti Karen" update will be a no no. In a way I hope they do as well, because that just strengthens the argument against it. We'll see i suppose...

as a 107 pilot I HATE RID !!! as a recreational pilot I HATE IT EVEN more !! That said, I will never be for it, and will fight against it always. But as 107 I have to comply to keep my business. Just hold steady brother. You watch what happens after sept. 16 The FAA is going to be overwhelmed by it all. They won't be able to handle the numbers, either from 107 or rec pilots. RID WILL go away. Just like cb and ham radio licenses. Hold steady and hold strong brother.
@@waltsaxton3961 Well the issue is IF the CBO's get their amendment passed, RID will ONLY exist for Part 107 commercial as all Recreational ( 44809 ) will be FORCED into FRIA's ( at least that is their plan and what their amendment basically does )
So, I will not comply regardless, but that is the scheme they have been working on for years....
I just built a new 5 inch quad with a 30x30 stack, DJI o3, the small Happymodel elrs receiver and a capacitor with a spike absorber on it. I struggled to get all of this stuff to fit in my Apex clone frame. I had to remove one of the standoffs to get the spike absorber and capacitor to fit. Unless I modify the frame I don't know where I am going to fit the module in it.
I'm going to ziptie my module to a battery strap to go on top. Plug it in last if I use it at all.
@@shadowofchaosfpv4683 The reason I haven't gotten a part 107 yet was so I could still be under the hobbies regulations. It looks like it's time to start studying.
@CarbonGlassMan I used the UAS107 app to study. The 107 test has alot of general aviation questions that some study guides miss. Airport landing direction, airspace grades A to G, stuff like that. All the information you need is free to search and read on the FAA website, but the guides and classes give you exactly what you need.
@@shadowofchaosfpv4683 Thank you for the help.
@@CarbonGlassMan no problem. If you don't want to get a 107, Rip and dip Baby!
Drones are way more capable and scarier than any of those that you mentioned., Paragliders, hot air balloons etc FAA aren't really concerned about them. Drones are being used in war on a daily basis now.
I'm an FPV drone hobbyist as a freestyle pilot and I can do some crazy maneuvers. This is why the FAA is regulating drones, they can be a force to be reckon with in the wrong hands. Pretty simple to figure out really.
More people are killed everyday by accidental shooting of firearms than drones.
If they bring this in where I live, and it seems we follow the US in most things RC flight, I guess I will find all flight's that I post will be from archived video before the rule change.
If you want to know why drones are under such scrutiny, all you have to do is watch the way police and other officials react to hand held cameras.
FAA is fuct up with this RID is epic FAIL of technology
thanks for the video bro!
Great video. No problem from me. I'm in the same position. I like your approach to be lawful. I also like your approach pointing out the myriad of problems with this poorly thought out system. I feel embarrassed for the FAA. Is this the best they can come up with? The hypocrisy of the whole thing is astounding.
I,m getting one for my kite: could be fun.
I dont have a problem with it for commercial drones. Commercial vehichles have special requirements, be it special plates or like most states having the name address and phone number promintly displayed.
The difference in ultralights is that they can't be flown ANYWHERE near or over a populated area and there are relatively very few of them. But, if they start causing problems I guarantee they will be included in RID or worse ADS-B that records all your flying activities. So really, everyone needs to stop trying to throw ultralights under the bus, they weren't doing crazy things in the city. At least not since the 80's and that's when they got thier regulation that killed it's popularity until powered paragliders.
great video thank you .
Grazie per le informazioni
One thing you didn't mentioned, is that even as a recreational uav operator you have to take the T.R.U.S.T. exam. Though it is free and online, ultralight aircraft pilots don't even need to take any knowledge exam. They can just go fly, albeit they are to stay in unpopulated areas.
The T.R.U.S.T. exam isn’t compulsory.
I appreciate and share your concerns as a professional myself. Your examples you brought up were all for manned aircraft unless I missed something. I feel like the autonomous nature could be the concern or the FAA just wants to secure the airspace for future corporate needs. Thanks for the discussion though....it's needed.

Same goes for Hobby shops who promote this stuff and individuals who make a dollar off of it and now CBO's who have openly sold us out, they especially must take the Biggest hit of all because they were suppose to represent us, instead have sided with the regulators to end us and worse force us to pay them to do so .
IF this happens without an end OUR RC Aviation HOBBY ceases to exist and the community will decline until it becomes meaningless and we lost yet another RIGHT and Freedom.
When will this Community Wake Up to these REAL facts ?
Everyone is entitled to do as they please for or against and everyone reaps what they sow by every decision they make in life...with that being said
here are some REAL facts as to why all this is happening
Lets get down to business. A once Hobbyists friend and Rep was the AMA once a true advocate for the Hobby, However over the last 15-20+ years they slowly was losing members and dollars. SO in their magazine editorials they hinted and implied a forced membership and a AMA club flying only mandate. When questioned they denied that and swore that was not their plan.
Fast forward and we saw 336 in jeopardy of being removed. A once advocate who fought for 336 suddenly refused to do so. They skipped meetings and never attended hearings and their seat was empty. Their excuse on their own site was they did not need to attend. While various entities like DHS, Drone Alliance and the DoD were against the 336 , and spoke openly to remove it, the voice of the hobby to retain it never showed up
SO Fast forward the sudden attack on the safest Aviation organization community is now demonized and called criminal .
The AMA demands forced membership and FRIA flying only and have said so now for many years as I mentioned above .
Now they have a Amendment they want installed in the FAA ReAuth Act that simple states they want Automatic CBO mandated FRIA creation and that means as the CBO's claim the FAA says everyone has to follow the CBO guides and IF that guide states IF you fly recreational you must do so in a FRIA guess what become the LAW ?...
Now to enforce that fact, go back to Rich Hanson's Op Ed in the Hill a few years back in 2018 where he basically stated, "Punish rogue pilots not rule followers" .The title sounded great , but then read his ideology about it .
He went on to say , " That anyone who flies must be of two classes. One must fly if Recreational under a CBO such as the AMA or they must fly under Part 107 ( commercial ) . He estimated that "nearly 200,000 all AMA members and 700,000 who were NOT AMA members"., He also stated UNLESS a person was flying under a CBO ( in this case the AMA ) and their standards they had to be flying Part 107 commercial and IF they did NOT have a part 107 License they were flying Illegal outside of that CBO demand. Then he stated that anyone who was NOT a AMA/CBO member was a criminal and a rogue and needed punished,
His precise words were "Rogue flyers are Part 107 violators. We must, first and foremost, make clear the need to follow Part 107 if not operating within a community-based organization ( like the AMA ). And when someone violates Part 107, he or she needs to be held accountable ."
SO now Flash Forward 2023 what do we have we have CBO's who claim we must follow their guides and suggestions OR we are flying illegally. Just like Hanson stated in 2018 . WE also have CBO's who say they are working for the Recreational community and one group lists their accomplishments on their web site that has benefited ONLY the commercial interests/Companies while even in their own words " recreational is EXCLUDED" from them all.
Now these CBO's like the AMA wants a CBO FRIA Demand which might sound nice at first glance, BUT if made law under the FAA Reauth Act allows those like the AMA, FPVFC, FTCA and others the permission to FORCE paid membership and FORCED FRIA flying only the very thing the AMA has demanded now for over 15 years and as you read in the Op ed, that is basically what Hanson stated.
These groups are now saying FRIA FIRST. So the FRIA claims is to make that a LAW by Congress that as Hanson stated in his Op Ed since only 200, 000 were CBO members the rest were not. Today we have over 2+ million operators in the US and the AMA numbers have not risen they have declined and why they want Forced membership, the FTCA has many members as does the FPVFC, BUT still the majority of Hobbyists do not belong to any CBO, and NEVER Fly in FRIA's ( Club fields ) and I might add NEVER Will. So what do they do ? They are criminals and rogues according to Hanson and they MUST BE Punished... remember that. THAT is the plan to make example of some of them to scare the rest into a FORCED CBO membership FRIA Flying Only
The community asked for a 1 kg weight increase something we gave in our NPRM comments they ( the CBO groups now ) refused to listen then and IF a FRIA flying only there is NO weight limits and in special CBO sanctioned events there is NO 400 ft AGL Altitude limits either.
So as you see as this mess progresses they are pushing hobbyists out of the skies EXCEPT in certain places they call a FRIA.
The RID is a surveillance tool much like the registration was. Registration allowed the FAA and Congress to know how many people were flying "drones" ( that means every RC TOY we fly ) and was willing to follow their suggested rules. ( take note that registration was ruled illegal by the courts, but commercial lobbyists along WITH the AMA had it slipped into a defense bill that made it the law again ) SO the next step is this Remote ID.
It is a surveillance tool to SEE and know who are those Part 107 folks who will use that Module as they to want to make the dollar and any recreational operators who do NOT fly in FRIA's
NOW guess what happens when they note WHO and WHERE You are ? Right they will MOVE and or REMOVE you from the skies.
The Commercial Drone Alliance demanded Congress to remove all Hobbyists from the skies so they can operate without interference or possible interactions with other drones. fast forward in the 2023 FAA ReAuth Act hearings those commercial Companies stated they MUST have the 400 ft AGL to the ground to operate and the UTM had to be created and mandated everyone else out of it .And currently over $23 BILLION was spent they estimate by 2030 that will be $58.7 BILLION .
Money talks and Congress only see's $$ signs and they will do what these Billion dollar companies demand and they are using the FAA and their regs/rules to make it happen even skirting the Rule/Reg process .
SO none of these CBO's are our Friends in fact they have sold us out and they have now openly admitted it and all those puzzle pieces and their sworn to secrecy claims now have been clearly Heard and seen. Their FRIA First statement and their demands to CBO automatic authority said it all . The Plan and scheme is now open for all to see and THAT is what WE need to let everyone know
Our response just do not comply is not enough anymore, NOW it must be WE BOYCOTT all these businesses, these CBO's, and any and all entities be it Hobby shops, commercial users and these YT Guru's who demand our dollars while giving over to these regulations and worse pushing them to the community.
TIME these entities take a hit on their bottom lines and they stop making money at our expense. THAT will make them and Congress the Media and everyone else take notice. Just like the Boycotts on Bud and Target stores among others.
If Walmarts, Google, UPS or Amazon and any other business tied to commercial drone use get boycotted and their business takes a Money hit they will drop their dreams of delivery services and removing us for it and air taxis and or whatever nonsense they have claimed.

When will this Community Wake Up to these REAL facts ?
sadly, companies lobbyist are doing a great job in the FAA and Senate, and our politicians every day are more close to the companies profits than the people they represents.
the fact is the drone has a camera that's what they are afraid of
part 107 is super hard for me to get, I don't have $175 to register and I have to drive over 100 miles to a testing center. I've been doing practice tests for months and still miss questions. It's a giant pain in the ass, when I could just hop in an ultralight and fly. I think I might take up ultralights until they ruin that too. Anyone loan me an ultralight, gas money and $175 to take my part 107?
man this is just nuts
Great video man ..Does the original old mavic pro (manufactured 6/2017)have RFID already ? Or ... Is there an easy way to tell?? And by the way it's not had a software update since probably about 2020 version 01.04.0300 which was the last vrsn with which you could go back. 😅 asking for a friend.
I believe DJI has a list of old drones that are RID compliant on their website.
So now Karen knows who you are and where you are and now she will walk to you and enforce her bullshit .. Outlaws for ever. Is the FAA paying for this?
Well said sir. Me and my eife go fly heavily armed. We take 6 .45 glocks. Please come watch me fly. F, faa. F,ama
Simple !! Do not comply. The more that do the harder this fight will be.. we gotta stand and fight.. I will never register. I will fly. And to hell with all 3 letter tyrants.
Am I correct in assuming that I can fly an FPV sub-250g craft around my yard without RID ? Now, if I do NOT monetize, can I post to TH-cam ? Some of these FAA "rules" still seem vague for a guy that just wants to play with a toy in his own yard.... and share with friends.
Unless you live near an airport, prison or national park, you will be hard to catch. But posting a video on TH-cam will get you noticed and it is one of the things everyone is watching.
You may notice my avatar. At 5:16 you explain how hang glider pilots die more often than paraglider pilots. Well, this is just not the case. The stats are at least reversed. Deaths in hang gliding are more skill related, while in paragliders deaths are more wind/weather related. And for paraglider occupants the weather/winds can seem fine by observation on the ground but after take off you can still get slammed to the ground and get hurt or die.
Hang gliders, with their aircraft aluminum air frame, can't "collapse" or "deflate" due to turbulence. In hang gliders we feel bumps and perhaps a mild involuntary turn (which is usually easily corrected) but our wing keeps flying.
Paragliders, which are a larger form of "ram air" parachute, can collapse in turbulence and lose their airfoil shape - and therefore start to fall to the ground below. When learning to paraglide people are actually taught how to recover from canopy collapses. This is something hang glider pilots never have to worry about.
Here's an online article on the comparative risks between sports - chessintheair.com/the-risk-of-dying-doing-what-we-love/
Since I also fly quadcopters it is very important to ask, . . . has ANYONE DIED flying a sUAS? The risk of death while flying a sUAS is ZERO - unless someone has had a heart attack or stroke while flying one. I'm sure that's happened a few times in the past 70 years. But the sUAS is clearly not what killed them.
Thank you from the hang gliding and para gliding perspectives. It's harder to find people who do those activities because you see them in the air, not on the ground.
@@shadowofchaosfpv4683 Your statistics for paragliding sound wrong, in France there are less than 10 fatalities a year for a population of 50000 pilots. You don't require a license there as well, only third party insurance is mandatory.
@khunbenjamin9604 most of the data I used was from the FAA on the US and some of the data was from 2021.
Thumbs up mate
The more development I see with Remote ID, & see the evidence for it, it wouldn't surprise me that the folks what are shouting (in the comments section of any & every video what touches Remote ID with so much as a 10 m pole) "I WILL NOT COMPLY!" I am willing to wager that _those_ people are willingly incriminating themselves simply because they disagree with Remote ID, & they will be _the first_ demographic to be targeted by the FAA (whether directly or indirectly is irrelevant).
Wilful noncompliance is _not_ the way to fight it. The time to _actually_ fight it & say to both the FAA & Congress alike that we do not want nor need it for recreational flyers has already passed.
Now, the best thing anyone can do is advocate for Remote ID to become more permissive than the red herring that is the so-called "FRIAs". However, I am _yet_ to see evidence of anyone doing this instead of insisting on incriminating themselves with wilful noncompliance.
Here is my example of advocating for Remote ID to become more permissive:
For recreational flyers, we do not need Remote ID on _any_ of our aircraft (helicopters, planes, quad copters etc). Commercial drone operations (provided they are above 250 grams &/or above a certain physical size), fine. Give those ones Remote ID. Regulate the absolute snot out of commercial drone operations. Leave the recreational flyers out of it.
I am also aware that, over your way, you guys do not have what is called a "Shielded Operations Zone". That is where your service ceiling (IE Your maximum operating altitude) is no higher than the tallest artificial or natural object within a horizontal 100 metre radius of you (the operator). That "Shielded Operations Zone" is _only_ applicable if you are flying within a 4 kilometre radius of an aerodrome or heliport. Here in New Zealand, that is what we have, & it works. You guys _need_ to have "Shielded Operations Zones" or an equivalent to that.
I believe that anything what is flown within a Shielded Operations Zone does not need to have Remote ID, because other crewed aircraft are highly unlikely to be occupying that same sliver of airspace as you.
👆 That is my 10 cents worth on the subject.
Not that im on the side of the faa or any government expansion, you have to take into account the number of people who fly drones. And compare that to 103 pilots and baloon pilots. There are thousands of drones to every 103 ultralight. And probably a million to every baloon. Honestly i think its a money play for thr faa.
A money play for the faa, and companies like Amazon using government to help them in their interests
There is a good one for $40 i ordered one i dont have a 107 your only suposed to have one module that you put on if you have multiple drones they dont want you to have one for each im gonna just use one so i dont get bothered
Just throwing this out there, that Aliendrone anit-karen update; Wouldn't that be a sweeter pill to swallow for the hobby user? Remote ID module transmits all the time to the PoPo. Fine; Don't want Karen to see? Turn Karen mode off.
As a recreational flyer, I too will comply, and I mean on everything I fly, 250g or less and even my Nitro trainer. I mainly fly at a great AMA club that for more 20 years was located about a 1km from the busy approach of a large Nasa/F16 squadron/Air Force UAS unit/Coast Guard/Flight training and commercial airfield under Class B with an agreement to fly and clearly noted on air charts. I really hope they are collecting RID data on all of us, and that they publish said data that will undoubtedly show what we have known for so many years. And that is the fact that we already have in place operating procedure, discussion and training, compliance and discipline over those that for whatever reasons might find themselves in infliction with UAV and or Hu-Manned controlled craft. Our club moved a couple miles away from that busy approach, but we still take preemptive and clearly exaggerated care to avoid any contact with our model planes and multi-rotors for if we were indeed in their craft's seat we would want a wide berth too.

By the way we have experienced a visit from an FBI agent in response to a multi-rotor flight that reportedly occurred at the opposite side and at some great altitude of this airfield. So, if RID could have ID'd that idiot easily for the purpose of assessing their character associated with such a risk so as to take an appropriate action IE warning, education, fine, arrest that might highlight an appropriate use case if stupid continues to increase.
The answer is , you won't be able to use it by their restrictions.. sucks ...
I have said before and will say again. You have the right to have your thought put out there. Eveyone is in a different spot in life whether be 107 makes a living or rippin dippin. You do what you need to do! Sorry about hate mail ur probably getting. I appreciate you posting you thoughts. Makes sence bro. You do you. And thank you
Most responses have been positive I'm happy to say. Thanks!
Whataboutisms are not a helpful argument honestly. The FAA claim to fame of safety is about "dangers to others" not to the pilots. (still not deaths) Remember a 2 lb drone "could take down" an airliner according to the FAA. It also moved to "national security" and terrorism" (thanks to Ukraine war footage) and dropping ordinances on things. Still makes no sense to be over regulated to you point.
Just to point out, 2lbs is just over 900g. So to follow the logic, FAA is concerned with drones at a significantly higher mass than what they are imposing RID on.
Cheers!
@@stumbl35 no question. I have said it multiple times that the FAA sucks are risk assessment and mitigation tactics.
I'm a 107 FAA pilot also drone pilot I also work for the government retired now
I have multiple drones just an idea but who is to say that the footage was in taken from another drone that is commercially licensed and remote ID
I mean just something to ponder but you can always say that it was your official drone that took the footage and you edit it
Minimum Compliance is the plan. ONE freestyle drone has RID and my DJI is covered for me to be legal. I own close to 20 quads in all sizes but just one module is all I am buying.
#KenHeronMadeMeDoIt 🙌
dont do it
How many people. Are gonna k ow enough to download a drone scanner app? I don't think many. I'm totally against this shit! I wanna upgrade but I wanna see how this plays out first.
Next we humans will. Need a remote ID under our skin. Don't laugh! 🤔
hi im in the uk rid sucks i fly a hubsan mini pro sub 250 where can i strap a rid tag on it you got bigger problems lol its stupid our bmfa did naff all to fight rid never mind happy flying
I have 5 DJI Drones the Mini 2 mini 3 and mini 3 pro I also have the mavic air 2 and Air 2s only 3 of them have the Remote ID both mini 3 and mini 3 pro and air 2s I am not flying under part 107 so my sub 250 mini drones don’t need RID even though 2 of them have it already. I have all 5 of them registered with the FAA I saw a Facebook post that a guy with a mavic air 2 could not update his registration because his mavic air 2 wasn’t compliant. So that’s an issue I will be facing. So I will have to unregister my mavic air 2 because I just don’t have 300.00 to purchase a drone tag. You said 199.00 every where I looked it says 299.00 I also have around 8 fpv drones that I would have to purchase remote id for. I don’t have 2400.00 so unless they come up with a cheaper option then I will either sell some of my drones or just fly in rural remote areas where I don’t have to worry. If I am flying a fpv drone with out GPS and rid or any other drone tracking equipment in a hollow between two mountains where I have 4 miles with no people around nobody’s going to know.
Just put RID module on one freestyle quad and don't say what drone you used. I have 20 quads but am getting one module for all my footage. FAA doesn't know what drone I used to get freestyle footage as long as one is registered and compliant.
Let us know if your congressman has a reply?
you delivered that perfectly. Anti-Karen update, love it! I feel that you gotta do what you need to keep that business going, man. I'm pretty sure that if sht hit the fan, you would be left to take care of that bill on your own, no subs, no youtube, no Discord, not even a GoFundMe, think you'd have to ask for donations or something, but still. I could be wrong, but until the day that the community gets some type of real representation such as an attorney that will eat up the FAA in court every time they mess with a pilot for no real reason, Part 107 pilots are kinda stuck like chuck for now. Great video man, really informative✌
I wanted to add numbers to the fear. Information is the bane of fear mongering.
😂😂 you make some great points.
I will not comply ! This is stupid and dangerous.
That is your right. I did pick a RID module that DOESN'T show up on Karen apps. Unfortunately, the DJI Air 2S is always on. Thanks for the input!
Big hmmm. @FAA
Well put.
