Our prayers goes out to your Daughter and to your entire family and friends....Tell her we said thank you for having a wonderful dad as well!
DITTOS AND GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
That's my brother.......proud your my friend home...
Continued prayers for your daughter.
I'm so happy for the support your daughter has received from all of us!
First thing is first, my name is Wendell Quillen, owner operator of Visual Echo drone services, located in Port St.John, Florida. I'm still iterating the fact, you kind sir are the boiler maker I'll be listening to for making comments to the FAA. I trust you and see your passion. You make too much sense and only hope our nation will hear your words. Again, I am your servant and if there is anything I can do from my location to add to your suggestions, do not hesitate to contact me.
This message goes to anyone else, based from his ideas.
Looking so forward to your next update...
I share your enthusiasm in aiding Bruce in this capacity, as well if there's anything I can do from here (Indianapolis, Indiana) to aid you please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you for your concern and your passion for stopping this garbage and preserving our industry Wendell. Have a great day.
Jessie Kenney from Louisville Kentucky. Bruce, you are one bad dude!!!! ; )
Ditto!
Milt Farrow yes sir, I am.
Milt Farrow I’m searching your statement for something I don’t know. Care to help me out here, sir?
Thank you for trying so hard to help change the outcome of proposed laws that won't even impact your enjoyment of the hobby in the near future. Although you know that if the FAA has their way in the USA it will create a negative domino effect in a multitude of ways that will impact the whole world. Thank you for your wisdom, wit, and willingness to speak the truth for everyone.
Furthermore Bruce, I got to thinking about it and I think the way you stick to your common sense convictions of right and wrong is the way Americans used to be before being corrupted by materialism and the technological evolution of media by those that control it's influence on the massive heard of sheople. You would be a dam good American! We need more like you. Sincerely, I think it stopped being the land of the free sometime after 2001 and has become the land of irrational fear mongering sensationalism. I still love it and I hope people snap out of it before it's too late. There are new laws every year against objects and feelings instead of laws that punish people's harmful actions. Sorry to ramble. Keep being awesome 👍
Thanks again Bruce! Your really doing us all a huge service ! ! !
🍻 cheers 🥃
Bruce My heart is with you and your family.
Thank-you for doing the research,and raising awareness.
I'm Brazilian, love the hobby and you represent me. Thanks again for your invaluable effort. This FAA fiasco don't affect me, and I'm very concerned about the outcome. You know that saying, if the US sneezes, we catch a pneumonia.
Adriano Casemiro Thank you!
Agreed, many non-US residents seem to be thumbing their noses at us over this, they don't realize that the commercial drone use lobby will probably be in their countries soon as well, trying to clear the airspace for their own use by killing the hobby.
@@yucannthahvitt251 When the US drops the stone, everyone feels the ripple effect, don't worry about that..
@@xeriamaned ouch!
Adriano, I lived in three areas (Rio, Curitiba, and Maringa) for a total of 4 years . I thought Brazil and its bureaucracy was bad, then I moved to Idaho bought a drone and then found out about Remote ID and Idaho's laws protecting its citizens privacy and airspace rights. Now I don't feel comfortable flying anywhere and wonder where have our God given rights gone. Hating the government right now!
Yes we all will be praying for your daughter
Makes a whole lot of sense. The cartoon that we use to watch in our childhood days, THE JETSONS, Is the thing of the fiture. People need to understand that they wIll be observing drones flying everywhere; crashing into homes, other airplanes, helicopters, flying animals, power wires blackouts, packages falling and killing people to name a few. TFS!
Lol pretty dismal prediction
I was very glad to hear that there was a significant response to your daughter's cause. If she has your strength I'm confident that she'll prevail.
After watching many of your videos, I find myself with one recurring thought - I'm very glad that I'm not on the opposing side. Your seemingly tireless tenacity is very impressive and will, hopefully, be a major factor in our fight.
Thanks again for your energy and continuing efforts.
I'm always baffled by the "thumbs down" count on videos like this. What are they thinking? (...or maybe they're not)
Doesn't matter that you're not a U.S citizen, thank you for looking out for us. You surely aren't required to do so, but I certainly appreciate it. ♥️
☝️👌
Adding your daughter to my prayers! Much love and thanks for your added awareness to this FAA flop on our hobby!
Thanks so much Bruce.. we in the USA need you! I think a guy like Burt Rutan could help us with our plight. He was an avid hobbyist and also aviation pioneer. And my prayers for your daughter!
Thank You for your support ! Your Daughter and Family are in our Prayers!
Sending out positive vibes for your Daughter Bruce. All the best to you and your family
Thank you for fighting on behalf of RC pilots everywhere. And all the best to your daughter.
This is why I always support the Bruce! He gives it to us straight
Hi Bruce, it was my pleasure to give to your Daughter's donation site. I'm sorry I couldn't give more. I lost a nephew at 29 to this same problem, so I know what she is going through. Give her my love and best wishes. David . . .
6 FAA agents didn't like this video😂
A-Aron Fpv mark my words, they are paying attention 😉
Good points. The risk assessment would be on every news broadcast if it was proven to be high. These new regulations seem to be based on negative hype without any facts. 👍👍 hopefully we can successfully insist on a risk analysis and end up with common sense rules.
Proper......we both know that wont happen.......just saying hes not American....we are. God bless suppose we can hope.....
Im one hundred percent behind you Bruce and hope we can all help save this great hobby of ours by uniting and sticking together. Also i will remember your daughter in my prayers. God bless her and all your family.
Really good point on the large commercial drones filling the sky
@Aloaf Ov'Bread here's what I am surprised is missing from this rule if they are all about safety.... Prop redundancy... I mean if a motor goes out, it's coming down unless it's a hex or larger that can manage to land with a motor not functioning.
@Aloaf Ov'Bread yep.. Exactly! Bruce is spot on in his assessment!
@Milt Farrow probably not as they want to be flying much lower than the passenger airliners. Still the autonomous drones will cause issues
You are a genius. Thank you for your hard work and love for the hobby!
We all pray for your daughter and hope she gets well thanks for all your information and help
Greatly appreciate your spread of information...thank you!!!
Thanks for all your hard work on this important effort! Together we can make a difference!
May GOD Be With You and Your family. As a drone hobbyists who owns several drones I thank you for your attention to, and assistance with this. IMHO, this is about big businesses such as Amazon, FedEx, UPS, etc. lining politicians pockets and trying to put an end to any other uav's in the skies but their own. I Pray these proposed new laws do not go into effect.
stay strong man my sister of 20 past away in 2018 of cancer it was very difficult to get throught it but prayers and and wish you a healty new year
God bless you and your family... Keep the faith and enjoy every minute to the max.
So sorry that your daughter hasn’t been doing well! I will be thinking about her and your families, and will pray for you all to have strength and endurance during this difficult time. Hang in there! ❤️
Wonderfully said my friend and all my best to you family. I am a retired US Army Aviator flew up until 1993. The United States of America will always be a target, and we will be deal with these threats as needed. Making laws in the guise of "Safety and Security" is a laughable. I have spoken with some Tracon atc retired now, they stressed that rank and file ATC/FAA folks were not involved in this proposal. I have sent my input in, this is being put into place due to Amazon, UPS fedex and other transport companies. They do not want a recreational user to have an incursion on on of their own crafts. I recently viewed some other youtube channels Ken Heron is one , his camp tries to say this is a good thing. No it is not, maybe to people like those who are afforded the opportunity promote products. This is certainly not a good thing. Thank you sir.
Thank you for all your hard work on this topic you are doing the hobby a great favour. Legend
That banggood link is hilarious. Thanks for all your work and for fighting the good fight. It sounds like this was a done deal before it ever got to the FAA but people like you give me a little hope and give me energy. ive emailed my governor and congressmen, but like you said they probably are unable to hear it with all the professional high stakes lobbyists tellin em how to think. Thanks again and sorry bout your kid, Best Wishes
Bruce, I think once again I have to give you the Tripoli's award. Keep up the good work.
Thank YOU! Best wishes.
I see a parallel to be made between owning drones and owning guns:
They are trying to control the ownership under the pretext that they *could* be used for bad purposes, but on the other hand, the government and a few private companies should be allowed to use them exclusively.
And just like guns, the bad guys will always be able to get their hands on an unregistered drone (or gun) and do their thing. It's us, the law abiding citizens who have them taken away. In the case of drones, the police, expecting to find every drone on their app will be even more unprepared in the situation of an unregistered and untraceable drone used nefariously.
Dear Valentin, I think you are missing the point. The majority of guns is made to kill. The majority of drones out there is designed for recreational purposes. Those made to kill are already under governmental control. You cannot relate the two topics at all. It is even more obvious if you compare the fatalities just in the US.
I’m still seeing comments on RC Facebook pages in the UK from people who think the new regs are a good idea! Keep it going, Bruce and thanks again.
You are a hero to the hobby. Keep it up one voice backed by so many can make a difference. I'm from uk and sure you influenced things. Love the way you pull the incompetent bureaucrats to pieces
You’re the real mvp Bruce. You’re a Gangster and a Scholar! Thank you!!!
This is brilliant. We need to get local and national media channels on the danger of commercial drones and the FAA regulation
Firstly, Prayers for you and your family.
Thank you for the effort you are putting into assisting us defeating this. Very well researched and thought out.
In my opinion along with all our individual efforts, a national organization that represents manufacturers, wholesalers, dealers and Hobby Shops, as well as individual hobbyists is needed. It is apparent that the AMA is not currently serving our interests. We need to get the larger voices from the hobby working along with us against the proposals. a loud, unified voice, as it were.
We send our prayers and positive energy to you, your daughter, the rest of your family and anyone else suffering with cancer.
Thank you for spearheading this Bruce! As you say this is just a money grab by extremely wealthy and powerful corporations using unfounded fears to justify their actions. My brothers and I, along with quite a few friends of mine all ended up pursuing careers in science and technology after experimenting with RC model airplanes and gliders as kids. We barely had enough money for the hobby as it was and were doing it in our backyards or parks during the 80-90's. We certainly wouldn't have had the means to jump through all these new hoops being proposed. Peregrinus Solutions LLC is planning on having a yearly educational summer day camp at our headquarters to expose local youth (specifically underprivileged children) to math and science concepts in a fun atmosphere starting this summer. We hope that this interactive teaching method demonstrates the fun and practical aspects of math, science and engineering; possibly sparking a lifelong interest in this fields and learning in general like it did for many of us. By working with educational institutions we are seeking to provide real paths to further education and fulfilling career opportunities. This new legislation will very likely make this all but impossible. I don't foresee the FAA being very generous in their allotment of approved fields or manufactures so this legislation threatens to put many or all small drone manufactures and service providers out of business as well. More than just the hobby community should be concerned about this as you stated.
It is incredibly short sited to cut off so many benefits already enjoyed by the general population and avenues for future innovation in exchange for legislation which solely benefits a few corporations in the short term; many are arguably already monopolies. Remote ID should be used to enhance the UAV or Drone revolution by making things like BVLOS operations possible, not justification to maximize profits for a few select companies regardless of the public cost. Hopefully we can assist your efforts to stop this proposed vastly overreaching legislation from becoming actual law and all the unintended consequences begin to occur.

Great Video, Every time I watch you on this subject i am taking notes to form my comments to the FAA. That combined with all the other big names in drones on YT I am putting together my submission. My prayers to you and your daughter for her fight.
I absolutely love your Tshirt!! Thanks again for taking this battle to the FAA on our behalf!!
Do you want the same person who green lighted the 737 Max opening up the airspace in your backyard to large, automated commercial drones?
Can we hire a lawyer who specializes in regulatory law to assist in the fight? I'm sure the money would flow in to pay them?
Thats a brilliant idea , everyone would sub for the lawyer
This is a fantastic idea!
MnPaul I’m in!!!

I find the fact that these “drones”conveniently popped up when the FAA’s Drone ID proposal is being made to be highly suspect. Your government lies to you every day about man made cutting edge vehicles. The NSA wants to mass surveil more Americans using drones as a cover. Most modern Drones “already” broadcast their information. DJI currently has a working system. You as the American public will never be told the truth about these sightings. The reason why is simple. This is to cripple enthusiasts and small drone businesses from flying so the mega rich like Amazon can have the skies all to themselves to bring you your items. Guess what they will use to do it? Surprise!!!! A Drone! Spread the word and don’t be deceived. We are smarter than this!! The FAA and various corporate interests could be creating the panic in Colorado to make it harder for legitimate drone enthusiasts to fly by turning fears of the unknown into CASH. Think I’m just flapping my lips, then go to
Faa.gov, type “remote I’d” in the search window and click on “comments for remote Id proposal” and leave a comment. Please note that within 4 years many drone pilots will have to replace their entire drone fleet. And be forced to pay for additional services, if not they will be grounded. Even if you HATE drones you had better consider how this will effect search and rescue using these drones to help save your life after a natural disaster. Hours equal lives. It could also cause drone schools out of business. No drone pilot to search for you! Drones are not any worse than cars and guns. It’s the person controlling them that can make them lethal. Last but not least the Shipping companies and the Military are the only ones who will profit if this is implemented. You still won’t know what the heck is flying in the skies of Colorado.
@@ljn64as37c and whatever happened to this news story. It has, surprisingly, gone silent. No news, no follow ups. NOTHING!
We love everything you do Bruce, and my prayers are spoken loudly for daughter. I lost my wife just over 9 months ago to cancer.
Thank You, Mr. Simpson!
A cruse missile in your garage? No wonder I like you ;-P
Thanks for your hard work Bruce
I will be behind you all the way
Thoughts are with you and yours Bruce.
Keep up the good fight on all fronts mate.
First and foremost are prayers for your daughter. I was glad to provide a little coin. But our thoughts and prayers are with her and you too! God Bless!
It is as transparent as this... the argument is more about commerce and the potential for delivery by unmanned aircraft or UAS. The FAA wants to know who is flying so that they can excise the appropriate fees (tax) and so no one subverts this requirement. And the hobbyists are the unfortunate collateral damage because commerce and taxes will far outweigh our pleasure.
I want to know what the hobby companies are doing with respect to this as their livelihoods are at stake. HorizonHobby should be all over this...
Thank you for all of your hard work. I am very concerned as my family, club, and I enjoy flying model aircraft. This is a huge concern to us and we look forward to participating in getting this overturned. We are praying for your daughter!!! God bless you and your family!
Thanks so much for taking a strong lead on behalf of many pilots on this FAA situation! Just to play devil's advocate on the risk assessment topic - so true that drones have been almost universally safe thus far, but they certainly could be used in unsafe ways, especially as the technology gets better and better. It doesn't take a surplus of imagination to envision a disaster or two. We need, as a community, to articulate our assurances around safety and privacy concerns moving forward and not just dismiss the topic as irrelevant because so few issues have occurred up to this point. Right?
Behind you Bruce... Logical route...
By far the most reasonable video EVER!
Much appreciation, much respect Bruce
Iam very sorry to hear that God bless you sir
Good show Bruce waiting for spring to fly in Minn. USA
This video is a little more optimistic than the typical ranty Bruce we know and love. :)
Knowledge is power and I'm accumulating as much knowledge, understanding and opinion on this matter as I can. I'm confident that the NPRM in its current form will never be ratified by the politicians.
@@xjet I really hope that is true, and the more I hear from other smart people and organizations that are against this, the more I believe it. And by believe it, I mean I believe that it will not pass as currently written.
Gday Bruce, good on you for helping the rc pilots of America as whatever happens in the USA will come to Australia as we all know CASA has it nose very close to the FAAs butt, so thank you, your a bloody legend Bruce for doing what you can, come here to oz and you can fly here mate.👍🛸
Hi Bruce Great video I have shared this video with everyone I know, I have watched a bunch of videos on this problem. I have been getting people here where I live to change the minds of the town for we can fly at our parks and now this, Thanks again for the information and videos.
To put our current situation into perspective, I recently had an opportunity to chat with our new MP, and although we talked about many subjects the most enlightening part was when we came to discuss the new drone regulations, of which he (understandably) seemed to know very little. When I'd outlined how much upheaval and dissent this had caused in the hobby and how little chance there was it could possibly make the hobby safer or stop terrorists, criminals and activists from mis-using RC aircraft he HAD to agree. The most worrying thing though, was the fact that he actually thought that the recent US drone attack was done by flying a drone (in his mind he actually admitted he pictured a DJI Phantom-sized quadcopter) up to the target and blowing it up. When I told him it was almost certainly a Hellfire missile (or similar) fired from a military aircraft-type drone the size of a small light passenger plane he was genuinely surprised. If this is typical of the people making important decisions about our hobby, then it's scary, and we're screwed.
It is, and we are screwed, in more ways than this...
Wow you're spot on! Didn't see from that way!
Therw might be hope after all!
Positive thoughts for your daughter. I'm glad people helped out.
Absolutely need to educate the public on what's coming. They have no idea. Most would probably initially say they want the drone deliveries, but once you paint the real picture I think that stance will change. Keep up the good work.
Bruce, please don't forget to encourage folks to send their comments to their federal congressional representatives as well as the FAA. The FAA was created by congress, and congress oversees the FAA's actions (and provides their budget).
Praying for your Daughter. Will add her to my churches prayer list.
Everything you said was very sensible!
I am sorry to hear about your daughter's cancer. Unfortunately, that decease affects all of us in life. That being said, my prayers go out to you, your daughter, and family. And thank you for still taking the time to carry our flag into battle, with these draconian proposed rules.
First of all thank you for all the great work you were doing and the effort you’re putting into this. Since the FAA has not done a risk management study they have failed in due diligence. They may be liable for a class action lawsuit. These are a few buzzwords you might incorporate into a reply.
Thank you for getting the word out there and making some great points. Prayers to your daughter as well...
Good points, you've brought up a concern that I've had. If the FAA wants this much control, how much commercial drone traffic do they intend to introduce into the airspace over the public? I've been flying RC for over 20 years now, I love it, but I don't want to walk out the door and see the skies filled with drones everywhere. And like you said, the large commercial drones, what affect will this have on public safety, driving on the highway and having an 80lbs drone hit your car because it malfunctioned. The FAA really needs to take some steps back and do some proper risk assessment.
Awesome Bruce.. keep us postedd.. I want to make that submission.
Very positive game plan. Am totally for opposing this one as NZ will follow suit if the FAA succeeds.
Well done pal Thanks for the support of the hobby From Palmerston north NZ
Thank you XJet for helping to fight for our rights...:)
You’re right; we don’t know what you will be doing. However from what I’ve seen so far, you’ll be certainly representing me!
thanks Bruce for everything you are doing! your life long experience and sense of logic are extremely valuable right now. much love from the states.
Great vid only wish there was some one like you in the UK .so many people that don't agree with the changes in the UK but just go along with it saddens me . Hope in time people in the UK see sense and stop paying for nothing. ???
All the best to your daughter 🤞
Your daughter and her health and happiness run in my thoughts. My prayers for her.
Also, a quick suggestion. It might be very helpful to put links or info in the video description that enable viewers to contact such groups as the FAA, CAA, etc. That way when you say “we must demand a risk assessment!”, viewers can just easily go and contact the FAA demanding that assessment.
Going to share this in Czech Republic we have different government but witch is walking in same way .... Thank you Xjet
Thank you again for your research and your time and effort your a star.
My very best wishes to your daughter and your family I'll be keeping everything crossed for you ♥️🤞🏼👍🏼🇬🇧
Fantastic video and activism! I and others are prepared to await your instructions so we can all collectively save this hobby!!!!
Maybe there needs to be an investigation into the government practices that oversee the rulemakers. This would be a great story on the news or an episode of 20/20. And you are correct, if they take away my ability to FPV, I will NOT work as a pilot for anyone and will not support anyone using them. Thanks Bruce, looking forward to more on this. Wishing you and your daughter the best
My prayers to your daughter. 💫💫
About the remote ID : I think people should be much more careful about flying in parks and around buildings and such. I believe that if people were a little bit more careful about where to fly, it'll be much better.
Better fly in rural areas and maybe some abandoned buildings.
I sure hope this won't be the end of the hobby. I have just started doing this and I love this hobby, so much. It has made me so happy, some days it's my whole reason to get up in the morning.
Keep up the good work Bruce, love the channel and your content! You taught me how to solder up my first drone at the age of 26, now I have 10 of them only 2 years later! Hopefully, Australia doesn't have a drone cull too.
'GUIDE LINES' a key phrase. Only rules have to be obeyed, 'guide lines' are exactly what it say's. They are a suggested way of operating that can be ignored if so desired, especially if a case can be made to ignore them, such as a financial/security/privacy or any other obscure reason as long as a good sounding argument can be made.
Bruce, I am now a Patreon sponsor. I could not find xjet so after searching I found your other channel. So my contribution is to RCModelReviews. If this is not the best way let me know. Keep us updated on your daughters health.
hopefully God bless you all wishes and prayers for your daughter to fully recover in shortest future, am not in the US and may not even go there but those regulations will affect us world wide, all the drone community and market will be affected by those restrictions that seem without real back ground related to real threats but for a network of private companies and pockets that will appear later... the budget that will be implemented to introduce and maintain this system of those regulations may solve a lot of real other issues that may help citizens of US rather than following ufos threat.
Thank you for fighting for our passion!!!!
Thank you Bruce, i like very much your plans to try and get the public on our side. Like you i can see just how much worse things will be if the hobbyist is pretty much removed from the sky. With regards to drones i really do not think the general public realise just how lucky they are at this time. Lets face it, if you live in the average town or city then the chances at the moment of being disturbed in anyway by a drone is very very low. Most members of the public would have never seen a drone flying anywhere near their home. But boy, if the governments and the big companies get their own way that could change very quickly indeed. If the hopes of the big companies come true, then the chances are that those same folks, living in the same average towns, will soon start to see very large drones overflying their properties on a very regular basis. Every back garden or yard will become a potential landing and take off pad for these large commercial drones. And those drones, unlike the small ones we fly, will have a dozen or so cameras pointing in all directions - recording to a blackbox. And like you have pointed out, these drones will not be anything like the small drones we fly. They will not have little 3inch props - probably more like 24inch props.
I wonder just how many members of the public would really want them landing within a few feet of where their children are playing in the back yard? And i also wonder just how many of them would want the likes of Google flying so close to their property with all of those HD cameras? After all, we all know how google like to map every part of a country they possibly can, and then put it online.
But, i am also very skeptical about just how feasible a drone delivery service really will be. A delivery van will make so much more sense in 99% of cases. But, the general public need to wake up to the possibilities that these proposed new laws could lead to. Because it really could lead to a situation where you will have big companies invading your privacy on a regular basis. At this moment in time 99.9% of the population will not have any kind of drone problem - if these new proposals become law then that could change very quickly.
Bruce, unless i misread it, standard ID only allows flight with broadcast only, only if the internet is lost in flight. It requires an initial connection and eventual loss, but not being able to connect at all, prior to flight, relegates you to non remote ID and confinement to a FAA authorized identification site.
Totally agree.......Thanks so much for your effort......take care of your Daughter
I would like to add my family's prayers for your daughter. As someone has said if she is like you Bruce she will prevail. Life can be a bugger sometimes can't it? I am following all your vids regarding this issue and am ready to help wherever I can. Thank you for all the tremendous work you are doing here. We must stop this madness!!!!
My heart goes out to you and your family. Miracles do happen and I pray one is on its way to you and your daughter.
The Enemy of my enemy ... how about getting Netflix to support this? 😁
Get our industrial Giants involved they'll have a Strong influence, they hold a fearful $$$ Power, Futaba OS All of them!
Thank you for your videos, I agree with you on the FAA and this rule proposition. Prayers for your daughter.
Bruce as always fantastic work and really good point about those government guidelines. However the FAA's and every other aviation regulatory bodies intentions is now clear. Their goal is to kill the hobby so they can clear the airspace for commercial drones. This is now a political fight and this is something that has caught organisations like the AMA, the MAAA and BMFA totally asleep at the wheel. In addition to making a submission to my US brothers and sisters also write your local congressman/woman and Senator. Also make this point. What happens when a commercial drone fails and takes out someone? Watch the poo hit the fan!
Also Bruce all the best for your daughter's fight with cancer.
Prayers to your daughter, you and your family. Did not know. Just a thought here. Did a little rough math. Amazon delivers roughly 1.6 million parcels a day. Assuming that's global, I say roughly 500 thousand? in the USA. Assuming not all those packages of goodness are drone deliverable, lets say 200 thousand are. Divide that by 48 states. Sorry Alaska and Hawaii. That's almost 4,200 drone deliveries per state per day!. I almost "want" this bill to pass just to see the public's reaction to that many drones flying over us everyday. That aside. THANK YOU for what you are doing.
