I’m a commercial pilot, but I haven’t flown in a few years due to an illness. I love flying little RC planes especially WWII replicas and EDF jets. Almost none of them are over 250g and I typically only fly around treetop to maybe 20 feet above treetop level. A few years ago it was a rule that you had to inform any airport within a certain radius of your flying area that you were planning to fly. I called an Air Force Base near me and told them I was flying this little foamy RC plane and they asked how high, and I told them. They were like “WTF, why are you telling us this?” I told them it was a requirement of the FAA and they told me, (as I already knew), that any REAL airplane flying as low as my RC plane had WAY more to worry about than my plane, things like trees, houses, power lines, etc…
I totally agree. I want to get into the hobby. Why should I inform an airport about my plane. What pilot (actual plane) is going to be flying over treetops, that's insane, unless your a crop duster. Omg. Hey FAA these are toys, not actuals.
I’ve been a pilot for more than 3 decades: part 135, 121 and now 91 corporate. I grew up on the “bad side” of my home city and attended public schools where many of my classmates spent their youth getting into trouble. I became fascinated with aviation at a very young age and my saving grace was model aviation, getting my first plane (CG Eaglet) at 12. I spent much of my youth from that point on in the basement building planes or at the flying field, where ever that happened to be - mostly behind a rural school. I’m confident this is what kept me out of trouble and led me to an amazing career. It’s very sad to see what’s been done to our hobby.
Better yet they lumped GPS controlled drones that a ten year old can fly ten miles away with RC helis that take years to learn to hover 25 feet in front of yourself. Hopefully there will be classes in the future just like with the real aircraft. I honestly can’t believe they went this far.
@@OregunAdventure I believe, that’s what got us all in trouble. Parents purchasing their 10 year old that product at a box store with zero aviation background.
You are absolutely right. they don't know the difference between a drone that will fly itself and an airplane that will crash if you take your eyes off it and sometimes while your watching, and if it gets to far away you've lost it.
thats not how it will work. its civil law. you will get a fine no matter what it is no matter bow big or small then you will have to go to court and prove they are not over 250g.

@@Realitygetreal no fascism is a brand of socialism the fascio were the workers unions the power they gathered was cinsidolated and was used to form a governing body. I think what you are really sensing is tyranny or authoritarianism. socialism, is not really a government. its a social contract. but it doesn't work so it takes tyrants to enforce the contract. these tyrants form into a government the ppl will buy into. unelected officials creating rules and enforcing them with the threat of violence is tyranny.
@spookytkid just imagine what it's like to be gay or black or Jewish or Muslim. Everyone always thought the jack boot was coming from the left. Now the right's talking about taking away birth control.
In Germany our lobby organisation for RC: Deutsche Modellflieger Verband (DMFV) has managed to prevent the duty of setup such devices. We only have to print the ID out and add it inside the plane. Thats it. No electronic necessary.
@@dabneyoffermein595- Yes. The feds murdered his wife and his son. His wife was murdered by a fed sniper while holding her baby in a doorway. You should read about that incident and also about what took place at Waco with the Branch Davidians.
@@GOOGLE_IT-00 if you just carry one in your car and drive around the 12 story parking garage they'll go batshit trying to find the idiot with the quadcopter...
The FAA lazily refused to separate line of sight RC planes that have been flying safely for generations from drones. Government overreach at it's finest.
It was a pain for them to recognize that when I'm flying Control line, my plane is never more then 70 feet away. BUT if you fly D class Free Flight? Go ahead, no module necessary. SURE, it can catch a thermal and be GONE and nothing you can do about it, but no module necessary.
Being a former, 13 years, FAA employee I feel you are being nice in your use of the word 'ludicrous' towards the FAA bureaucracy. It is a shame the AMA rolled over to the faa. I wrote my objections to the AMA twice knowing full well they aren't listening, just like the FAA. I am a FAA Certificated Pilot and FAA Certified Aircraft Maintenance Technician (A&P), with an IA Rating for many years and still own my own plane. Notice I used the term Certificated because the word license isn't in the FARS. The point is too many people DON'T do their homework in advance and listen to the power mongers that don't give an iota about us real AMERICANS. They are only concerned about their unholy paychecks...
This is one of the reasons I now fly UMX in my back yard. Local schools and parks that had areas we were permitted to fly have now closed to use for RC planes, largely due to people flying the DJI drones around everything and not staying in the boundaries that were designated.
The government do not enforce the immigration law and let millions of illegals in our country but they want to enforce this law (RID) to rc enthusiasts, really? Come get me. I’m telling them I’m from Mexico. They will leave me alone.
Thanks Brian for this video. Extremely informative. I totally agree with everything you have said and the information you provided has helped me tremendously.
You're welcomed, and appreciate you saying so! We didn't want to make this video...it was painful to produce, and keep from saying many, MANY bad words.
To fully protect my Sky Remote ID Module when I get one I will first wrap it completely in aluminum foil , install in the aircraft and then fly. That way it may survive a crash better.
It has been enormously entertaining watching you manfully try and master your seething background rage at being made to jump through these ridiculous hoops :)
yes. thank you for understanding ;) I wanted to take that thing and drop it into my garbage disposal, but then I thought...well I wouldn't do that to my radar detector - LOL ;)
Amazon, FedEx or anybody else will NEVER deliver packages with Drones. The size of Drone required to deliver a small package that weighs only 4 pounds will have to be pretty large. WHEN, not IF, but WHEN one of those large Drones fall from the sky and hit somebody, you’re looking at massive law Suits. The drone will only be able to drop the package in the front yard. Not up on the porch. They will be using the Best equipment available, so when a kid orders something and it’s delivered, the kid throws a blanket over the Drone and keeps all the parts. Amazon just lost another Drone.
It is very refreshing to hear Brian talk about government and over reach. Sometimes I think the media/.gov want us to feel like we are alone in our frustrations. It’s nice to know that we are not alone and that more of us feel just like Brian does than don’t.
I'll fly my EDFS until I crash them beyond repair and then I'm done. Thanks to all of the manufacturers and other RC lobbyists for protecting our hobby. If they really wanted to stop this garbage by the FAA it would be stopped.
This is all so that the FAA can give large corporations such as Amazon primary rights to airspace formerly protected by rule 336 for package drones. As usual, follow the money.
Thanks for the video! Couple things I’d like to share: 1. Sub 250 is all I fly, and I just started a year ago, but all the vets that welcomed me into this hobby fly their big boys and I want to help protect them! STOP REMOTE ID!! 2. Spektrum making proprietary products in 2024 is an absolute joke. I never have and never will buy anything spektrum. EdgeTX and ELRS is my only OS and radio Protocol, and I’ve never experienced any of these issues new people face, and I’m not locked into ANY company. DSM and Spektrum is TRASH. 3. If someone does want to comply with remote I’d, there are far better and lighter options than Spektrum. That thing is unnecessarily huge.
Clearly, a motivation is to increase dues for the AMA. They do some good for the hobby but understand they are a money-raising organization. This is what most of their money is geared toward, raising more money to build the kingdom.
Since a large percentage of the FRIAs are being granted to AMA member fields where you cannot fly unless you paid your dues, it becomes obvious why the Fudd-club rolled over to the FAA like boot lickers. AMA now holds a near monopoly on compliant fly sites...just cough up some member dues.
Was thinking about the micro Draco today because I want one and I didn't think it would make weight. That's great to see that it's among the remote ID exempt
Nice rant! Enjoyed it. I purchased 2 units in Aug 2023. Took 6 months to get them to us. Connected to receiver and worked like a champ giving me speed and altitude. Second time out a week later the thing went crazy giving all sorts of BS data. So the first one has failed after 2 hours use. Did I expect it to work when it's made in China? Thanks Spekcrap. You took my money and delivery a turd!
I’m in uk Brian it hasn’t reached us yet but they can sod off if they do I won’t be complying here in uk and if they want to drive and find me bring it on , and you are right it’s just a money making scheme for the government they won’t be stopping my fun all the best to you and pilots in USA 🇺🇸 , Gary 🇬🇧just wanted to add was great video guy’s ✌️
I have been told clearly by my club that I need to have a remote ID in order to fly. Given how thick the woods are around our field, I expect this module will pay for itself.
If your club doesn't have a FRIA, then you would technically still need a RID module to be compliant. Compliance is YOUR choice, and I'm just trying to help with some level of clarity, but don't think I want you to do it, or not do it ;) Thanks for being here with us! The hobby is live and well!
I must be old. As I remember it, 😉The outlaws were smokin the devils lettuce while the "good" guys were flying RC Planes. Some people are born outlaws and others have it thrust upon them!
All of us Real Americans will get declared into that category when we exercise our right to NOT COMPLY... A cop cannot I.D. you without suspecting you of a crime but the FAA and Amazon just SAY SO!!
I loved the presentation. I purcahsed the same RID and its installed and a solid light. So for us rookies and maybe you stated it but I cannot find it where were you looking to get the heading and all the RID data on your transmitter. I hae the NX10. I could not find anything on any page of the NX10. Could you or anyone else show me the way. Thanks You seemed to be gettng a lot of data but I can't find the page you were on?
I'd like to know how to see the info also. Newbie here also using a NX8 and the plane is an Apprentice 1.5. The remote light is on and steady, but I see no info on the NX8. What am I missing?
Pursuant to the 9th and 10th Amendments, US Constitution, the federal government cannot assume powers not specifically granted to it by the Constitution. There has never been a constitutional amendment establishing the FAA in the US, until that happens, it is my position that the FAA has no constitutional authority over the actions of any private citizen. Congress cannot grant the FAA power, that Congress itself does not have under the US Constitution. Assuming that the FAA is constitutional, it does not have the authority regulate the privately owned air space that reaches the enveloping atmosphere of a persons real property, anymore than having the authority to regulate the airspace within ones home. The US Supreme Court has ruled, a landowner owns as much of the space above the ground as he can occupy or use in connection with the land. Flying a quadcopter around and above privately own trees, buildings, animals, or any other object owned, controlled, and connected to the property, is clearly an activity that is done in direct connection with the use of the land. Privately owned airspace is as much a property right as anything else attached to the property. The government cannot take possession of privately owned airspace and tell a landowner how privately owned airspace can, or cannot be used, without due process of law. As I posted before, the United States Supreme Court ruled, “We have said that the airspace is a public highway. Yet it is obvious that, if the landowner is to have full enjoyment of the land, he must have exclusive control of the immediate reaches of the enveloping atmosphere. . . . . The landowner owns at least as much of the space above the ground as they can occupy or use in connection with the land.” States v. Causby, 328 U.S. 256 (1946) Example: A private model aviation club, on private land, has a constitutionally protected right to use the private airspace on that land as it deems fit. It is also my position, that this applies to human personal space as well. That space that surrounds each person occupying a public space. Those persons have a right to use as much of the space above the ground as they can occupy or use in connection with that public space, as long as it can be done without violating another person’s life, liberty, or property.
If you open it up, can you get to the TX and RX and the SDA and SCL (if the GPS onboard has a compass (can you tell?) so you can connect it to a flight controller and use it in iNAV or BetaFlight and no use a Spektrum receiver?
Government needs to stay out of citizen's lives, period. By the way, this is mostly the fault of the drone guys who never fly their stuff with any respect to anything or anyone. Thanks drone guys. Love you and your work, Brian...
I started out as an rc fixed wing pilot . Got into the drone thing . Ive always flown smart . Just sad that a few ass hats had to ruin it for The hobby .
@@flyinbryanfpv yeah I can, and I will. That FAA fascist nonsense wasn't created because RC planes and their pilots were misbehaving, now was it? Who were the guys that were flying recklessly and drawing negative attention to the RC hobby? It was the drone guys, plain and simple. JUST SAYIN...
Our club field "Southern Indiana Flying Eagles " were denied FRIA because we are on a small active airport. We have put in for a 3rd time and are still waiting. The general consensus at the club is we will continue to fly but have to use remote ID. I personally don't think the remote ID will ok takeoff at our field, but someone has to buy it to find out.
Hello Brian, thank you very much for getting back to us. I appreciated your confirmation on our decision to go with the NX-10. Still unsure how the sliders work. Can you give us a quick lesson? Logan and I were watching your video on the Sport Cub S2 when you were flying with Andrew, and I said to him… That’s going to be us, and you better watch your six, because Papa!s coming! Man Brian…can you give us an idea of how many planes you have and where do you keep them all? Thanks again and great job, keep them coming. Anthony and Logan
Sliders are just like another "Stick" - I never use them, but they can control a surface, like a rudder, or some such thing, but I don't see that being a good way to do it. I think some people will use them for flaps and something they want analog control over, rather than a digital switch, which might even be limited to 2 or 3 positions, while the slider can offer infinite positions. I don't care about this too, but it's nice to have it if I want to setup something strange in the future....what I DO want, is the additional channels. This is what most of us NEED.
Brian, good video on a touchy subject. I think most R/C folks feel just like you do. It is always causes a problem when the Federal Government tries to address a NON ISSUE. Oh well, life goes on.....PEACE!
Thanks. We really did debate long and hard about even doing this, but we know there are people that will want/need to comply, and we just wanted to make sure they have the info necessary. The whole thing is just ridiculous, but we're not going to stop flying.
Finally got around to setting mine up. Easy. I was under the impression that the planes had to be listed too. Just the module. I just want to be able to buy a connector wire for each plane for easy switching from plane to plane.
You can buy wires too, but I would source them where you can get them CHEAP....but this kit comes with enough to get you running, then copy what you need for the next plane.
Very well done. I feel your thoughts are probably with the majority of flyers. The added telemetry is nice but it shouldn’t be mandatory to have this device. I’m glad camera crew was there to keep you on task, Otherwise, this would’ve been even longer.
Hi Brian my name is Peter Williamson and I live in the UK I'm always watching your utube videos. I fly with the oldest club in the country its been going for over 90 years this remote I'd in our opinion is absolute bullshit god only knows how the hell this is going to be policed our lot over here have a hard enough job as it is let alone checking on remote Id its not arrived here yet but it's not far away keep up the great stuff u do Regeards PETE
I really appreciate your position and explanation of the situation. Your information on installing this optional equipment is awesome too. FWIW: there are sub250 cinewhoops that can do some high quality cinematic work.
So instead of complying with this overstep of authority, I applied to the AMA to make my 40 acres of property an AMA charter club and it was approved. Me and my wife are the only members. We had a small 600 feet x 75 feet runway asphalt runway installed. Our nearest neighbors are 3 miles away and we are 50 miles from the nearest airport. We then took all the steps the FAA required when applying for a FRIA status and after waiting for almost a year, we were granted an FRIA status. I still hold an AMA card and belong to a local club, but its nice to just step out your back door and go flying and not have to worry about some bozo trying to gain access to your property to see if your in compliance......
Sweet! Can I come over and fly? Only have a few "foamies" and the govt (as in THE Govt) is only about a mile from my house. So, when I step outside and fly, I'm constantly looking over my shoulder for Park Police officers, hell-bent on enforcing the "no drone" rules in my town. Just kidding about coming over, btw. But, the rest is real. 👍
Brian, for over 45 years I hold a private pilot certicate with an instrument rating. For 20 years I was the sole owner and operator of a Piper Cherokee 180. I have not had a medical since 2003. I am new to rc aircraft in the past 4 years, since Covid. Before I stopped flying most aircraft had transponders, which only provided your 2D position to ATC. To fly IFR it made sense to have mode C, which also relayed your altitude to ATC. At that time there was no requirement to have a transponder or mode C. It only limited your access to certain classes of airspace. Today, the requirement is I believe mode S which allows nearby aircraft to know where and at what altitude nearby aircraft are, beyond just ATC having that data. I have no idea how that system is designed to work. The rc club that I belong to has just received FRIA authorization for both of it’s sites. To read and try to understand what had been proposed and new rules and regulations, even through the AMA, magazine, has been confusing and difficult, at best. I never understood how this ID system works. From what you said, individual flight data is gathered by satellite. I am still assuming that nearby full scale aircraft will be able to see positions and altitudes of nearby rc aircraft and drones. This sounds to me to be a very complex system and subject to interruptions and failures. Keep up the good work. I think the FAA has gone too far also. Doug Coates Bristol, RI
As someone who is nearly finished with my private pilot's license, I can't imagine flying around and having to ignore a bunch of effectively phantom aircraft showing up well over 1000 ft below me in a GA plane. The sky might look crowded on the computer but I wouldn't be able to see any aircraft out the window...
Honestly the altitude and areas that most of us fly, if a manned aircraft is there (other than maybe a helicopter), our little foam airplane is the least of their worries.
So in your situation, and mine, where we fly on our large properties, and adjacent fields and farms, my thought is that if I did decide to use an Identifier I would just permanently power one up in a static position, like inside my shed next to my runway. I'd say more than half my planes dont even have room for a module.
This is a good idea for us rc flyers of planes and Heli's. We usually fly in a specific area and are not sending far out like they do with the large quad copters with cameras.
@@FalconWing1813 I think its how they should have implemented it. Unless you are flying outside of line of sight planes shouldnt have to carry them. I certainly see the need for long distance, FPV flight for drones and planes to have a transponder. I also think a 5v transmitter is a joke. Whats the range, a mile at best?
@snoriverrc3842 I don't think so. If you are flying too close to manned aircraft, someone with the app and is near by, can find you. I think these are a great idea. I have spent hours searching for downed planes in fields. With this technology, I can walk straight to it. As an added bonus, I get ground speed, altitude (in either AGL or MSL), distance from me, and location on my transmitter now. I can record my flight and go back and review it later for max speed runs. I have bought one for all of my planes. So there isn't any swapping modules between planes.
MAN….. would just love to have a beer with you!!!! Everything you (and camera crew :) ) talked about, my wife and I have discussed as well.. Just another way for big brother to get free money from us, that’s pretty much it. Keep up the good fight, love watching ALL your vids!!! Thanks for sharing
As a life long modeler and old geez, I wonder how a beginner can get started successfully in the hobby nowadays. Your videos and others are a definite asset to the hobby along with community support on RC Groups. It's costing me $125 club membership plus $65 AMA membership to continue flying at a FRIA plus periodic $5 fees for FAA registration.
1. You don't have to comply since the FAA is not a law making body but only an agency. 2. You can double check Federal published and mandated laws in the Federal Register to see where this law is going. 3. As an American, none of the public that enjoy recreational RC flying consented and pursued legislative action to create a law that we want RID. 4. Whoever is the congressman that got paid to push and lobby this BS so it can be manifested by FAA and bypass the paperwork, should be looked into. 5. It's our job as citizens to mitigate money-grab tactics of Federal agencies for financial gain, to check the power and balances of our government(We're not supposed to give them more money). 6. This rule and regulation is not heavily enforced, it's what's called a "probe" because it's still testing out the waters as a regulation to see if the government can garnish money through such fines, and fund the FAA at the same time. This is also to test out how many citizens would comply to this, and if they see many complies then heavy enforcement follows next. 7. Your last option is to be chowd, pull your pants down, and comply, because citizens are so scared to go to jail and would rather have a Fed Agency extort more money through creating more fines and fear-mongering tactics.
yes, like you said - but if you don't want to comply, you can still have the appearance of compliance. that's what we were saying - some people don't want to pick this hill to die on, but to be honest, my issue is where does it stop?!?!? Seems they want to regulate us into complete slavery. It's getting old, but if there were enough of us, we could put an end to it, unfortunately, it would be very painful.
Unfortunately I think the best option for me is to just shut my mouth and comply, or quit the hobby altogether. I'm in the process of getting a pilot's license and while the FAA may "only" be an agency they absolutely would deny my license over some dumb infraction with a foam hobby plane.
I tried with mine, they rejected it because its a single family dwelling, and privately owned. Not a club. You can see it in my videos, my nearest neighbor is almost a mile away.
Have you seen the new FAA choir? Yes, for some reason the FAA has a chior. Not employees otherwise employed doing FAA work and singing on the weekends but people hired to go out and sing representing the FAA full time.. All DEI of course. I wonder what there play list is but does it matter?
Yeah, our new airliners are falling apart in midair while the FAA sings their Pete Buttigieg cringe "We Are The FAA song. MAGA Make Airplanes Go Again@@BrianPhillipsRC
oldguyFPV; They can't unless you tell them! No one has to answer any questions asked by a government agent! Don't say anything, keep your mouth closed, and shut the f*^%k up!
@@robertcampbell6349 Yeah! Wait until a Karen doesn’t like what you are doing, and gets a screen shot of your drone flying just a little to high! Your Remote ID information, can and will be used against you in a court of law. There is no remote ID on Karen. Karen can sneak up on you without notice! Not kool!
Karen Kop will start with the assumption that you are in violation in some way and you will have to convince them that you are legal. I hate to say it but the way things have gotten is to provide what is required and then wish them well.
Hi Brian & Camera Crew. I share the frustration. Thx for the education. I’ve been zeitgeisted long ago. Can I update my DX6e without the registering? I’m also uncertain how to know to me certain my Safe & AS3X on my UMX A-10 that’s too pretty to not have my first good tx. I’ve been flying rtf’s for a long time. Spekrtum tutorials have helped but I’m not sure how to be certain I’ve got it right. Hope you have some advice that would assure me they’re set up or calibration. ✌🏽
Dang good job you guys !!! Very fair veiws you've shared and thankyou both and family for the time and effort and love you put in!!!!!! More happy flying 🙃😎😉🖤
My question is this. Are they making model rockets comply? There is not an engine available that's under 500 grams. If we have to comply, they should have to comply.
I agree with your philosophy with respect to RID requirements but not with the Spektrum RID solution. I I bought a Holy Stone module for use at a local school property where I have permission to fly. It's FAA-approved, self-contained and independent of the aircraft and its electronics. The internal battery is good for about 4 hours and can be recharged off a USB charger using a supplied cable. All you need in the aircraft is a small Velcro patch. No need to connect to anything in the aircraft. It's also $10 cheaper than the Spektrum version.
I do spray my Bonsai tree with my UMX Tractor. Thank you camera crew; I pay myself to myself and have no contracts at present but looking forward to a getting a contract from myself to myself and hence UMX commercial... We don't have a name yet but thank you camera crew and thank you Brian because maybe I'll unbox my E-flite A10 with the twin 64mm EDFs. I do not want the wrong cop walking up on my maiden if I... probably won't do it till summer 2025 but thank god you put this warning up
LOL - they already have that - My is a Samsung Galaxy S9. What's yours? LOL Cry ;( Our world seems to be going to pot, but what are we to do about it...there's no more habitable land masses to invade, unless you like a lot of snow - LOL - but seriously...guess we'll just have to wait until Elon gets the first few loads of the craziest people to mars. I think the FAA should go first, to make it SAFE ;) (But seriously...Mars + RC - DEADLY...we need RID on mars!!!!!!!)
Thank you! We really didn't want to make this video and debated long and hard about how to actually do it. We just want people to have good info IF they need it.
I live in Canada it's a big country Big Brothers gotta find me and there's nobody to enforce the new rules that are ruining this Hobby. I will not comply I'll stick with sub 250 add the bureaucrats can kiss my butt
Not many people will comply. This is absurd. I ca understand maybe for those guys flying turbines that cost 20 or 30 grand. The range of airspace required to fly one of those intrudes actual airspace vital for commercial aviation. I totally understand that. But for the average homeowner in the country like me, it's not a hazard. I'm very safe and aware of all full-scale aircraft flying overhead. I usually land when I hear an EMT chopper coming. If all new toy airplanes are required to be manufactured with this ID they are not gonna be able to sell many of them. I'll get out of the hobby before I participate in this communist crap! I fly full-scale anyway and ADSB isn't a requirement for airplanes where I live and fly. And Don't give me this crap that horizon is not making any profit from selling these remote id's. No company can give shit away. That's a bald face lie! If they try to enforce this it will be the end of the hobby because not enough "sheep" out here to comply with this crap! Horizon and the other manufacturers are mostly to blame for not fighting this harder 10 yrs ago. They should have said no up front. They need to worry about keeping wheels from falling off 777s and doors from falling off737s instead of harassing honest hard working taxpayers!
Also one more question is about the battery size. I see on the package it says any battery 3.5 to 9 volts. Ok I got that but it also says you can connect it to the bind plug on the receiver and power it that way? Ok but it does not mention if the battery is a 6S then to me its way over the voltage limit but again Spektrum does not say any info on this connection and voltage limit, can you just plug it into the bind prot on the receiver and your good to go no matter what battery? your not going to fry the module?
I second another persons post. Just power it up on the ground where you are standing and set it off to the side. Go fly. They will still know you are flying in that area. If there is a plane that actually has the equipment to pickup the signal and they are flying that low, they will have other things to worry about , like a near by Cell phone tower. lol lol
I’m with ya. I got a Sky ID module and went to register it at “Drone Zone” but I just can’t do it. Why? Because my fixed wing, line of sight, non automatic flying toys are NOT drones! And The FAA does not have the right to my address, phone and cash to track my flying toys! Oh…yes you can just buy one module BUT you have to remove the wing of each plane each time to install the government tracking device and that can lead to crashes. I have written the FAA repeatedly and also the AMA asking what they are doing about this. I may have a new TH-cam video soon of an FAA induced multiple RC airplane bonfire.
I installed Remote ID but I attached it with Boeing bolts so it may not be there when the FAA shows up.
I’m a commercial pilot, but I haven’t flown in a few years due to an illness. I love flying little RC planes especially WWII replicas and EDF jets. Almost none of them are over 250g and I typically only fly around treetop to maybe 20 feet above treetop level. A few years ago it was a rule that you had to inform any airport within a certain radius of your flying area that you were planning to fly. I called an Air Force Base near me and told them I was flying this little foamy RC plane and they asked how high, and I told them. They were like “WTF, why are you telling us this?” I told them it was a requirement of the FAA and they told me, (as I already knew), that any REAL airplane flying as low as my RC plane had WAY more to worry about than my plane, things like trees, houses, power lines, etc…
This exactly
Wow dude there's no point to comply with the faa so fu#k those guys in the faa
I totally agree. I want to get into the hobby. Why should I inform an airport about my plane. What pilot (actual plane) is going to be flying over treetops, that's insane, unless your a crop duster. Omg. Hey FAA these are toys, not actuals.
I will never comply with remote ID. Period, end of story.
Yup fuck that shit 🤡
Seconded 👍
Same
Ditto!
Me too. 🤙🏻
Brian: When the Chinese fly their next spy ballon over the U.S. will they be required to have a sky remote.
Of course not. non Americans cannot be compelled to follow, or be prosecuted under, American law. Global tyranny 101...
😆
They are not scared of the Chinese. They are scared of honest hard working Americans! That's the problem.
Nah...Joe gave them a fly anywhere free pass...
😂💯👏🏼
I’ve been a pilot for more than 3 decades: part 135, 121 and now 91 corporate. I grew up on the “bad side” of my home city and attended public schools where many of my classmates spent their youth getting into trouble. I became fascinated with aviation at a very young age and my saving grace was model aviation, getting my first plane (CG Eaglet) at 12. I spent much of my youth from that point on in the basement building planes or at the flying field, where ever that happened to be - mostly behind a rural school. I’m confident this is what kept me out of trouble and led me to an amazing career. It’s very sad to see what’s been done to our hobby.
RC Peeps needs to JUST SAY NO to commie government rules.
AMA lack of balls and folding to the FAA stopped me from supporting them. They allowed them to lump a helicopter and a plane in with a quad/drone.
Better yet they lumped GPS controlled drones that a ten year old can fly ten miles away with RC helis that take years to learn to hover 25 feet in front of yourself.
Hopefully there will be classes in the future just like with the real aircraft. I honestly can’t believe they went this far.
@@OregunAdventure I believe, that’s what got us all in trouble. Parents purchasing their 10 year old that product at a box store with zero aviation background.
You are absolutely right. they don't know the difference between a drone that will fly itself and an airplane that will crash if you take your eyes off it and sometimes while your watching, and if it gets to far away you've lost it.
could be worse, I am in Canada.....
@@jasonthompson6267How so?
Out of respect to you sir, nobody should ever buy such a device......
Ya got that correct, for me, na.
Wow, all my planes just magically became less than 250g. I'm sure a police officer is carrying a scale around with him to measure planes at a park.
thats not how it will work. its civil law. you will get a fine no matter what it is no matter bow big or small then you will have to go to court and prove they are not over 250g.
@@spookytkid Guess we'll just have to wait and see ;)
Omg this is exactly what I said last year 😂 I bet they will all have digi scales and patrol parks and fields alot more too👏🏼💯✌🏼
@@scu-dub no read my post thats not how this works. You get a ticket then you go to cort. Its like a traffic fine. These are civil infractions.
@spookytkid well I will be the one with a scale lol because I'm not going to have them waste my time going to court when I'm flying sub 250g lol
I WILL NOT COMPLY
If absolutely nobody complies.
They will be forced to change it.
Like another commenter said me flying. My RC helicopter is nothing like a fpv drone

Crying out frikn loud... there is no part of my life that doesn't have a government jack boot crushing my neck.
Fascism at its best..
@@Realitygetreal no fascism is a brand of socialism the fascio were the workers unions the power they gathered was cinsidolated and was used to form a governing body. I think what you are really sensing is tyranny or authoritarianism. socialism, is not really a government. its a social contract. but it doesn't work so it takes tyrants to enforce the contract. these tyrants form into a government the ppl will buy into. unelected officials creating rules and enforcing them with the threat of violence is tyranny.
@spookytkid just imagine what it's like to be gay or black or Jewish or Muslim. Everyone always thought the jack boot was coming from the left. Now the right's talking about taking away birth control.
In Germany our lobby organisation for RC: Deutsche Modellflieger Verband (DMFV) has managed to prevent the duty of setup such devices. We only have to print the ID out and add it inside the plane. Thats it. No electronic necessary.
That's how it used to be here in the US, but now that has changed, & it's nothing to do with safety, it's to clear the airspace for commercial drones!
That is how the Federal Asshole Association (FAA) started with the facism
@@Timbothruster-fh3cw Amen.
Why has it changed that the question
I WILL NOT COMPLY! I really doubt an agent is gonna come hours out of their way. to harass a single 52 year old man flying his model
The agent will bring a newly funded excess IRS agent with him so make sure you have your taxes with you for the "field audit"
Randy Weaver said the same thing.
@@waywardspirit7898 was he the Ruby Ridge dude?
@@dabneyoffermein595 Yes.
@@dabneyoffermein595- Yes. The feds murdered his wife and his son. His wife was murdered by a fed sniper while holding her baby in a doorway. You should read about that incident and also about what took place at Waco with the Branch Davidians.
The FAA can't even regulate commercial aviation safety, this is stupid and I won't comply.
I think every hobbyist should just mount one of these in their car, and then go park it in long term airport parking...
I would strap it to a turd & flush it down the toilet!
Id be tempted to put this inside the fence with a 10,000 mah battery and waste there time.
@@GOOGLE_IT-00 if you just carry one in your car and drive around the 12 story parking garage they'll go batshit trying to find the idiot with the quadcopter...
There are rumors flying around that they will declare that an act that could land you in Guantanamo if you get my meaning
@@RealitygetrealUkraine gave rise to all of this, so they must think something is coming.
The FAA lazily refused to separate line of sight RC planes that have been flying safely for generations from drones. Government overreach at it's finest.
It was a pain for them to recognize that when I'm flying Control line, my plane is never more then 70 feet away. BUT if you fly D class Free Flight? Go ahead, no module necessary. SURE, it can catch a thermal and be GONE and nothing you can do about it, but no module necessary.
Drones are LOS also, but we all know how that goes
That's simply not true, the New York and Florida incidents happened before "drones" even existed. Look it up....
I agree, flying at the local park spreads the most joy 🎉
10000%
Being a former, 13 years, FAA employee I feel you are being nice in your use of the word 'ludicrous' towards the FAA bureaucracy. It is a shame the AMA rolled over to the faa. I wrote my objections to the AMA twice knowing full well they aren't listening, just like the FAA. I am a FAA Certificated Pilot and FAA Certified Aircraft Maintenance Technician (A&P), with an IA Rating for many years and still own my own plane. Notice I used the term Certificated because the word license isn't in the FARS. The point is too many people DON'T do their homework in advance and listen to the power mongers that don't give an iota about us real AMERICANS. They are only concerned about their unholy paychecks...
I'm done with the AMA. They did, BASICALLY NOTHING. What am I paying dues for? They can shove their membership where the sun doesn't shine....
This is one of the reasons I now fly UMX in my back yard. Local schools and parks that had areas we were permitted to fly have now closed to use for RC planes, largely due to people flying the DJI drones around everything and not staying in the boundaries that were designated.
Yes, a few ruin it for everyone else.
Yeah drone people absolutely ruined everything unfortunately
Correct me if im wrong, LAWS have to be submitted as bill, go through legislation before it goes on the books. The FAA puts forth rules, not LAWS.
The government do not enforce the immigration law and let millions of illegals in our country but they want to enforce this law (RID) to rc enthusiasts, really? Come get me. I’m telling them I’m from Mexico. They will leave me alone.
That will probably work! Maybe they'll even pay you to fly RC! ;)
😂

Prefect, I love it. We love you and camera crew, all the flights are so amazing too see, thanks. @@BrianPhillipsRC
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!!!!
Thanks Brian for this video. Extremely informative. I totally agree with everything you have said and the information you provided has helped me tremendously.
😮Thanks, Brian. I appreciate what you're trying to do .
You're welcomed, and appreciate you saying so! We didn't want to make this video...it was painful to produce, and keep from saying many, MANY bad words.
@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah, it's a bum deal. Can't say I'll be on that train either, but you're doing what you can to help the hobby. Keep it up.
To fully protect my Sky Remote ID Module when I get one I will first wrap it completely in aluminum foil , install in the aircraft and then fly. That way it may survive a crash better.
Great video and well said Brian and camera crew! My planes will remain undocumented.
Sorry to hear about that boating accident...
@@BrianPhillipsRC not the first boating accident I’ve recently had. I think I may give up boating one day! lol. Have a great day buddy!
It has been enormously entertaining watching you manfully try and master your seething background rage at being made to jump through these ridiculous hoops :)
yes. thank you for understanding ;) I wanted to take that thing and drop it into my garbage disposal, but then I thought...well I wouldn't do that to my radar detector - LOL ;)
Amazon, FedEx or anybody else will NEVER deliver packages with Drones. The size of Drone required to deliver a small package that weighs only 4 pounds will have to be pretty large. WHEN, not IF, but WHEN one of those large Drones fall from the sky and hit somebody, you’re looking at massive law Suits. The drone will only be able to drop the package in the front yard. Not up on the porch. They will be using the Best equipment available, so when a kid orders something and it’s delivered, the kid throws a blanket over the Drone and keeps all the parts. Amazon just lost another Drone.
Free drones lol
It is very refreshing to hear Brian talk about government and over reach. Sometimes I think the media/.gov want us to feel like we are alone in our frustrations. It’s nice to know that we are not alone and that more of us feel just like Brian does than don’t.
I like the speech. I hate the module. Or rather, I hate the idea of having to use such an item.
We agree 100%. Thanks for seeing where we're coming from.
I'll fly my EDFS until I crash them beyond repair and then I'm done. Thanks to all of the manufacturers and other RC lobbyists for protecting our hobby. If they really wanted to stop this garbage by the FAA it would be stopped.
If you have a brake light out and a clean record, you will usually get a warning to fix it and drive away. Fly safe and have fun.
This is all so that the FAA can give large corporations such as Amazon primary rights to airspace formerly protected by rule 336 for package drones.
As usual, follow the money.
Exactly, nothing to do with safety, just like COVID!!🙄🤮
Oh, now that makes a lot of sense. Thanx for that perspective.
Nah I am good. Thx. Congress should focus the FAA on actual air safety.. they don't have the best record lately.
Thanks for the video! Couple things I’d like to share:
1. Sub 250 is all I fly, and I just started a year ago, but all the vets that welcomed me into this hobby fly their big boys and I want to help protect them! STOP REMOTE ID!!
2. Spektrum making proprietary products in 2024 is an absolute joke. I never have and never will buy anything spektrum. EdgeTX and ELRS is my only OS and radio Protocol, and I’ve never experienced any of these issues new people face, and I’m not locked into ANY company. DSM and Spektrum is TRASH.
3. If someone does want to comply with remote I’d, there are far better and lighter options than Spektrum. That thing is unnecessarily huge.
Clearly, a motivation is to increase dues for the AMA. They do some good for the hobby but understand they are a money-raising organization. This is what most of their money is geared toward, raising more money to build the kingdom.
Yeah, I don't doubt they're going to try to leverage this to raise funds, but I can think of WAY easier ways to raise money.
Since a large percentage of the FRIAs are being granted to AMA member fields where you cannot fly unless you paid your dues, it becomes obvious why the Fudd-club rolled over to the FAA like boot lickers. AMA now holds a near monopoly on compliant fly sites...just cough up some member dues.
Was thinking about the micro Draco today because I want one and I didn't think it would make weight. That's great to see that it's among the remote ID exempt
Nice rant! Enjoyed it. I purchased 2 units in Aug 2023. Took 6 months to get them to us. Connected to receiver and worked like a champ giving me speed and altitude. Second time out a week later the thing went crazy giving all sorts of BS data. So the first one has failed after 2 hours use. Did I expect it to work when it's made in China? Thanks Spekcrap. You took my money and delivery a turd!
I’m in uk Brian it hasn’t reached us yet but they can sod off if they do I won’t be complying here in uk and if they want to drive and find me bring it on , and you are right it’s just a money making scheme for the government they won’t be stopping my fun all the best to you and pilots in USA 🇺🇸 , Gary 🇬🇧just wanted to add was great video guy’s ✌️
Its coming to the UK the CAA is "reviewing it" Amazon will pad the right pockets and youll be screwed too, FIGHT NOW, FIGHT HARD
I have been told clearly by my club that I need to have a remote ID in order to fly. Given how thick the woods are around our field, I expect this module will pay for itself.
If your club doesn't have a FRIA, then you would technically still need a RID module to be compliant. Compliance is YOUR choice, and I'm just trying to help with some level of clarity, but don't think I want you to do it, or not do it ;)
Thanks for being here with us! The hobby is live and well!
I got one for my plane, just in case I lose it in the field. Easy tracker.
@@sailingeric get a beeper lol. Don't use RID for that.
AMA isn't fighting because it will cause their membership to increase with people trying to comply.
AMA is the cause of all this, they're a joke!!!
The AMA did fight it, and that's why this module isn't needed if you fly at pretty much any rc club.
@@Mode1RC Only if the club has a approved freia. And all the clubs around me require you to be a AMA member. So yeah, they were fighting.
There's one club 20 minutes from my house, the next one is an hour and a half away.
Fuck the AMA, I will never rejoin them they sold us out
I must be old. As I remember it, 😉The outlaws were smokin the devils lettuce while the "good" guys were flying RC Planes. Some people are born outlaws and others have it thrust upon them!
The Outlaws are the ones running the country!
The AMA is not in support of the R/C modeler.
And of course all terrorist using RC planes or drones will always add a remote ID module.... they always comply with the law!
Always! 🤦♂
All of us Real Americans will get declared into that category when we exercise our right to NOT COMPLY... A cop cannot I.D. you without suspecting you of a crime but the FAA and Amazon just SAY SO!!
I loved the presentation. I purcahsed the same RID and its installed and a solid light. So for us rookies and maybe you stated it but I cannot find it where were you looking to get the heading and all the RID data on your transmitter. I hae the NX10. I could not find anything on any page of the NX10. Could you or anyone else show me the way. Thanks You seemed to be gettng a lot of data but I can't find the page you were on?
I'd like to know how to see the info also. Newbie here also using a NX8 and the plane is an Apprentice 1.5. The remote light is on and steady, but I see no info on the NX8.
What am I missing?
Pursuant to the 9th and 10th Amendments, US Constitution, the federal government cannot assume powers not specifically granted to it by the Constitution. There has never been a constitutional amendment establishing the FAA in the US, until that happens, it is my position that the FAA has no constitutional authority over the actions of any private citizen. Congress cannot grant the FAA power, that Congress itself does not have under the US Constitution. Assuming that the FAA is constitutional, it does not have the authority regulate the privately owned air space that reaches the enveloping atmosphere of a persons real property, anymore than having the authority to regulate the airspace within ones home. The US Supreme Court has ruled, a landowner owns as much of the space above the ground as he can occupy or use in connection with the land. Flying a quadcopter around and above privately own trees, buildings, animals, or any other object owned, controlled, and connected to the property, is clearly an activity that is done in direct connection with the use of the land. Privately owned airspace is as much a property right as anything else attached to the property. The government cannot take possession of privately owned airspace and tell a landowner how privately owned airspace can, or cannot be used, without due process of law. As I posted before, the United States Supreme Court ruled, “We have said that the airspace is a public highway. Yet it is obvious that, if the landowner is to have full enjoyment of the land, he must have exclusive control of the immediate reaches of the enveloping atmosphere. . . . . The landowner owns at least as much of the space above the ground as they can occupy or use in connection with the land.” States v. Causby, 328 U.S. 256 (1946) Example: A private model aviation club, on private land, has a constitutionally protected right to use the private airspace on that land as it deems fit. It is also my position, that this applies to human personal space as well. That space that surrounds each person occupying a public space. Those persons have a right to use as much of the space above the ground as they can occupy or use in connection with that public space, as long as it can be done without violating another person’s life, liberty, or property.
If you open it up, can you get to the TX and RX and the SDA and SCL (if the GPS onboard has a compass (can you tell?) so you can connect it to a flight controller and use it in iNAV or BetaFlight and no use a Spektrum receiver?
Government needs to stay out of citizen's lives, period. By the way, this is mostly the fault of the drone guys who never fly their stuff with any respect to anything or anyone. Thanks drone guys.
Love you and your work, Brian...
I started out as an rc fixed wing pilot . Got into the drone thing . Ive always flown smart . Just sad that a few ass hats had to ruin it for
The hobby .
Most of us drones guys aren't too blame. You can't lump all bad players into one group ... just saying
@@flyinbryanfpv yeah I can, and I will. That FAA fascist nonsense wasn't created because RC planes and their pilots were misbehaving, now was it? Who were the guys that were flying recklessly and drawing negative attention to the RC hobby? It was the drone guys, plain and simple. JUST SAYIN...
@@myksanchez1222I guess common sense isn’t too common after all judging by your comments
Where are the bodies tho?
Our club field "Southern Indiana Flying Eagles " were denied FRIA because we are on a small active airport. We have put in for a 3rd time and are still waiting.
The general consensus at the club is we will continue to fly but have to use remote ID.
I personally don't think the remote ID will ok takeoff at our field, but someone has to buy it to find out.
Get the module, plug in a 2S, keep it in your pocket, my module on my "private" property, I'm in compliance.
Hello Brian, thank you very much for getting back to us. I appreciated your confirmation on our decision to go with the NX-10. Still unsure how the sliders work. Can you give us a quick lesson? Logan and I were watching your video on the Sport Cub S2 when you were flying with Andrew, and I said to him… That’s going to be us, and you better watch your six, because Papa!s coming! Man Brian…can you give us an idea of how many planes you have and where do you keep them all? Thanks again and great job, keep them coming. Anthony and Logan
Sliders are just like another "Stick" - I never use them, but they can control a surface, like a rudder, or some such thing, but I don't see that being a good way to do it. I think some people will use them for flaps and something they want analog control over, rather than a digital switch, which might even be limited to 2 or 3 positions, while the slider can offer infinite positions.
I don't care about this too, but it's nice to have it if I want to setup something strange in the future....what I DO want, is the additional channels. This is what most of us NEED.
P.S. I never used the sliders on my DX18 either. Just never had a reason to use it.
Brian, good video on a touchy subject. I think most R/C folks feel just like you do. It is always causes a problem when the Federal Government tries to address a NON ISSUE. Oh well, life goes on.....PEACE!
Thanks. We really did debate long and hard about even doing this, but we know there are people that will want/need to comply, and we just wanted to make sure they have the info necessary. The whole thing is just ridiculous, but we're not going to stop flying.
Finally got around to setting mine up. Easy. I was under the impression that the planes had to be listed too. Just the module. I just want to be able to buy a connector wire for each plane for easy switching from plane to plane.
You can buy wires too, but I would source them where you can get them CHEAP....but this kit comes with enough to get you running, then copy what you need for the next plane.
Very well done. I feel your thoughts are probably with the majority of flyers. The added telemetry is nice but it shouldn’t be mandatory to have this device. I’m glad camera crew was there to keep you on task, Otherwise, this would’ve been even longer.
yes, and yes - good thing she was there to steer the ship back on course ;)
Great Job!!! I started flying in "69" and would have never dreamt that this could have happened!
Hi Brian my name is Peter Williamson and I live in the UK I'm always watching your utube videos. I fly with the oldest club in the country its been going for over 90 years this remote I'd in our opinion is absolute bullshit god only knows how the hell this is going to be policed our lot over here have a hard enough job as it is let alone checking on remote Id its not arrived here yet but it's not far away keep up the great stuff u do Regeards PETE
Brian you basically said how we all feel. We appreciate you as always providing us with the most accurate unbiased info 🤙 God bless dude
Where did you purchase that stand for the UMX Conscendo?
Our son designed and 3D printed it. If you're interested in one (not to be presumptuous) hit us up in an email in the about tab.
@@BrianPhillipsRCimpressive, it looks awesome!
I really appreciate your position and explanation of the situation. Your information on installing this optional equipment is awesome too. FWIW: there are sub250 cinewhoops that can do some high quality cinematic work.
So instead of complying with this overstep of authority, I applied to the AMA to make my 40 acres of property an AMA charter club and it was approved. Me and my wife are the only members. We had a small 600 feet x 75 feet runway asphalt runway installed. Our nearest neighbors are 3 miles away and we are 50 miles from the nearest airport. We then took all the steps the FAA required when applying for a FRIA status and after waiting for almost a year, we were granted an FRIA status. I still hold an AMA card and belong to a local club, but its nice to just step out your back door and go flying and not have to worry about some bozo trying to gain access to your property to see if your in compliance......
Sweet! Can I come over and fly?
Only have a few "foamies" and the govt (as in THE Govt) is only about a mile from my house. So, when I step outside and fly, I'm constantly looking over my shoulder for Park Police officers, hell-bent on enforcing the "no drone" rules in my town.
Just kidding about coming over, btw.
But, the rest is real. 👍
Will the gps data from telemetry be accurate enough to assist in finding an aircraft lost in dense vegetation?
I assume this would be true, but don't want to try it ;)
Maybe there’s a silver lining in that more people will get red pilled from all of this ridiculous over reach from the gov.
💯👍
Brian, for over 45 years I hold a private pilot certicate with an instrument rating. For 20 years I was the sole owner and operator of a Piper Cherokee 180. I have not had a medical since 2003. I am new to rc aircraft in the past 4 years, since Covid. Before I stopped flying most aircraft had transponders, which only provided your 2D position to ATC. To fly IFR it made sense to have mode C, which also relayed your altitude to ATC. At that time there was no requirement to have a transponder or mode C. It only limited your access to certain classes of airspace. Today, the requirement is I believe mode S which allows nearby aircraft to know where and at what altitude nearby aircraft are, beyond just ATC having that data. I have no idea how that system is designed to work.
The rc club that I belong to has just received FRIA authorization for both of it’s sites. To read and try to understand what had been proposed and new rules and regulations, even through the AMA, magazine, has been confusing and difficult, at best. I never understood how this ID system works. From what you said, individual flight data is gathered by satellite. I am still assuming that nearby full scale aircraft will be able to see positions and altitudes of nearby rc aircraft and drones. This sounds to me to be a very complex system and subject to interruptions and failures.
Keep up the good work. I think the FAA has gone too far also.

As someone who is nearly finished with my private pilot's license, I can't imagine flying around and having to ignore a bunch of effectively phantom aircraft showing up well over 1000 ft below me in a GA plane. The sky might look crowded on the computer but I wouldn't be able to see any aircraft out the window...
That AMA magazine is a waste of paper unless you leave it in the outhouse.
I agree, Tim McKay is a dirt bag!!
Too rough for the outhouse.
Honestly the altitude and areas that most of us fly, if a manned aircraft is there (other than maybe a helicopter), our little foam airplane is the least of their worries.
So in your situation, and mine, where we fly on our large properties, and adjacent fields and farms, my thought is that if I did decide to use an Identifier I would just permanently power one up in a static position, like inside my shed next to my runway. I'd say more than half my planes dont even have room for a module.
This is a good idea for us rc flyers of planes and Heli's. We usually fly in a specific area and are not sending far out like they do with the large quad copters with cameras.
@@FalconWing1813 I think its how they should have implemented it. Unless you are flying outside of line of sight planes shouldnt have to carry them. I certainly see the need for long distance, FPV flight for drones and planes to have a transponder.
I also think a 5v transmitter is a joke. Whats the range, a mile at best?
The RID module is not a long-range device. Unless in bluetooth or wifi range, no one will know whether you have one or not.
@@jordanchailland8444 yes, kinda defeats the pupose huh?
@snoriverrc3842 I don't think so. If you are flying too close to manned aircraft, someone with the app and is near by, can find you. I think these are a great idea. I have spent hours searching for downed planes in fields. With this technology, I can walk straight to it. As an added bonus, I get ground speed, altitude (in either AGL or MSL), distance from me, and location on my transmitter now. I can record my flight and go back and review it later for max speed runs. I have bought one for all of my planes. So there isn't any swapping modules between planes.
MAN….. would just love to have a beer with you!!!! Everything you (and camera crew :) ) talked about, my wife and I have discussed as well.. Just another way for big brother to get free money from us, that’s pretty much it. Keep up the good fight, love watching ALL your vids!!! Thanks for sharing

Nope and nope. We agree.

@@BrianPhillipsRCif agencies can write and enforce law...then UMX and E-Flite for example should write their own laws. Makes as much sense
As a life long modeler and old geez, I wonder how a beginner can get started successfully in the hobby nowadays. Your videos and others are a definite asset to the hobby along with community support on RC Groups. It's costing me $125 club membership plus $65 AMA membership to continue flying at a FRIA plus periodic $5 fees for FAA registration.
1. You don't have to comply since the FAA is not a law making body but only an agency.
2. You can double check Federal published and mandated laws in the Federal Register to see where this law is going.
3. As an American, none of the public that enjoy recreational RC flying consented and pursued legislative action to create a law that we want RID.
4. Whoever is the congressman that got paid to push and lobby this BS so it can be manifested by FAA and bypass the paperwork, should be looked into.
5. It's our job as citizens to mitigate money-grab tactics of Federal agencies for financial gain, to check the power and balances of our government(We're not supposed to give them more money).
6. This rule and regulation is not heavily enforced, it's what's called a "probe" because it's still testing out the waters as a regulation to see if the government can garnish money through such fines, and fund the FAA at the same time. This is also to test out how many citizens would comply to this, and if they see many complies then heavy enforcement follows next.
7. Your last option is to be chowd, pull your pants down, and comply, because citizens are so scared to go to jail and would rather have a Fed Agency extort more money through creating more fines and fear-mongering tactics.
yes, like you said - but if you don't want to comply, you can still have the appearance of compliance. that's what we were saying - some people don't want to pick this hill to die on, but to be honest, my issue is where does it stop?!?!? Seems they want to regulate us into complete slavery. It's getting old, but if there were enough of us, we could put an end to it, unfortunately, it would be very painful.
@@BrianPhillipsRC slavery? clutch the pearls, the sky is falling. and I suggest monchichi look up the difference between a law and a regulation ...
Unfortunately I think the best option for me is to just shut my mouth and comply, or quit the hobby altogether. I'm in the process of getting a pilot's license and while the FAA may "only" be an agency they absolutely would deny my license over some dumb infraction with a foam hobby plane.
what is the stand the UMX conscendo is on? Are those available for sale somewhere?
Brian, you should make your property a FRIA. Joshua Bardwell just had his property approved. Your property is way bigger than his.
I tried with mine, they rejected it because its a single family dwelling, and privately owned. Not a club. You can see it in my videos, my nearest neighbor is almost a mile away.
@@snoriverrc3842 I guess it was worth a shot.
It’s not possible to get a fria for your home property. I live on many acres out in the country and tried for the heck of it, I was rejected….
@@fastdude2002 So if you fly on your own property, & some nosey 🤬 reports you, you go to jail?
If i make a paper airplane to fly in my backyard does it need remote ID? Is flying a paper airplane a felony now?
I can promise you this.......I WILL NEVER EVER COMPLY with remote ID never gonna happen period and I'm going to keep flying.
We hear you and don't blame you one bit.
Have you seen the new FAA choir? Yes, for some reason the FAA has a chior. Not employees otherwise employed doing FAA work and singing on the weekends but people hired to go out and sing representing the FAA full time.. All DEI of course. I wonder what there play list is but does it matter?
WHAT???!!?!? This is the weirdest comment of the whole lot of them ;) LOL
OMG - It's a THING - YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!! th-cam.com/video/Pw9pNrMRlto/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, our new airliners are falling apart in midair while the FAA sings their Pete Buttigieg cringe "We Are The FAA song. MAGA Make Airplanes Go Again@@BrianPhillipsRC
Net will be...We are thr boarder patrol, we always have to let them go.........@@BrianPhillipsRC
How could local law enforcement know if you were in compliance or not?
oldguyFPV; They can't unless you tell them! No one has to answer any questions asked by a government agent! Don't say anything, keep your mouth closed, and shut the f*^%k up!
The FAA created a smart phone app. The FAA is looking to unleash an army of Karens to report us.
@@robertcampbell6349 Yeah! Wait until a Karen doesn’t like what you are doing, and gets a screen shot of your drone flying just a little to high! Your Remote ID information, can and will be used against you in a court of law.
There is no remote ID on Karen. Karen can sneak up on you without notice! Not kool!
Karen Kop will start with the assumption that you are in violation in some way and you will have to convince them that you are legal. I hate to say it but the way things have gotten is to provide what is required and then wish them well.
@@Markevans36301 Yes. The FAA plan is "Release the Karens!"
So the two sliders are not considered 2 of ten channels? Thanks again, Anthony
This is out of control. A lil m2 heli I fly right in front of myself needs a government tracker?? 🤣
Dear FAA: Please get a life.
Hi Brian & Camera Crew. I share the frustration. Thx for the education. I’ve been zeitgeisted long ago. Can I update my DX6e without the registering? I’m also uncertain how to know to me certain my Safe & AS3X on my UMX A-10 that’s too pretty to not have my first good tx. I’ve been flying rtf’s for a long time. Spekrtum tutorials have helped but I’m not sure how to be certain I’ve got it right. Hope you have some advice that would assure me they’re set up or calibration. ✌🏽
I literally work at my local hobby store and we will not even stock the rid modules.
Dang good job you guys !!! Very fair veiws you've shared and thankyou both and family for the time and effort and love you put in!!!!!! More happy flying 🙃😎😉🖤
Thanks Deane! We hated to make this video, but know that some folks really need an option to keep from ending up in the pokey ;)
Murica, 🇺🇸 🇺🇲 great video, guys! I agree with ya 100% all the way around on this topic.
My question is this. Are they making model rockets comply? There is not an engine available that's under 500 grams. If we have to comply, they should have to comply.
I agree with your philosophy with respect to RID requirements but not with the Spektrum RID solution. I I bought a Holy Stone module for use at a local school property where I have permission to fly. It's FAA-approved, self-contained and independent of the aircraft and its electronics. The internal battery is good for about 4 hours and can be recharged off a USB charger using a supplied cable. All you need in the aircraft is a small Velcro patch. No need to connect to anything in the aircraft. It's also $10 cheaper than the Spektrum version.
I agree it's a better solution.
"It's right there in words (points at paper)" - Brian Phillips RID is such BS. I'm so glad I have a FRIA close by.
Won’t be doing that.
I do spray my Bonsai tree with my UMX Tractor. Thank you camera crew; I pay myself to myself and have no contracts at present but looking forward to a getting a contract from myself to myself and hence UMX commercial... We don't have a name yet but thank you camera crew and thank you Brian because maybe I'll unbox my E-flite A10 with the twin 64mm EDFs. I do not want the wrong cop walking up on my maiden if I... probably won't do it till summer 2025 but thank god you put this warning up
You still need your Part 107. Just like if you look at your gutters with a quad. That's non-recreational, thus commercial by definition. 😜
Next will be implants in our armpits to monitor us
LOL - they already have that - My is a Samsung Galaxy S9. What's yours? LOL Cry ;(
Our world seems to be going to pot, but what are we to do about it...there's no more habitable land masses to invade, unless you like a lot of snow - LOL - but seriously...guess we'll just have to wait until Elon gets the first few loads of the craziest people to mars. I think the FAA should go first, to make it SAFE ;) (But seriously...Mars + RC - DEADLY...we need RID on mars!!!!!!!)
Resistance is futile...
Well done for choosing to talk about this, I know you would of had a shed load of research to do to make this. Ashame you even had to but Appreciated
Thank you! We really didn't want to make this video and debated long and hard about how to actually do it. We just want people to have good info IF they need it.
I live in Canada it's a big country Big Brothers gotta find me and there's nobody to enforce the new rules that are ruining this Hobby. I will not comply I'll stick with sub 250 add the bureaucrats can kiss my butt
Thanks!
Thank YOU! We appreciate your support!
Not many people will comply. This is absurd. I ca understand maybe for those guys flying turbines that cost 20 or 30 grand. The range of airspace required to fly one of those intrudes actual airspace vital for commercial aviation. I totally understand that. But for the average homeowner in the country like me, it's not a hazard. I'm very safe and aware of all full-scale aircraft flying overhead. I usually land when I hear an EMT chopper coming. If all new toy airplanes are required to be manufactured with this ID they are not gonna be able to sell many of them. I'll get out of the hobby before I participate in this communist crap! I fly full-scale anyway and ADSB isn't a requirement for airplanes where I live and fly. And Don't give me this crap that horizon is not making any profit from selling these remote id's. No company can give shit away. That's a bald face lie! If they try to enforce this it will be the end of the hobby because not enough "sheep" out here to comply with this crap! Horizon and the other manufacturers are mostly to blame for not fighting this harder 10 yrs ago. They should have said no up front. They need to worry about keeping wheels from falling off 777s and doors from falling off737s instead of harassing honest hard working taxpayers!
Also one more question is about the battery size. I see on the package it says any battery 3.5 to 9 volts. Ok I got that but it also says you can connect it to the bind plug on the receiver and power it that way? Ok but it does not mention if the battery is a 6S then to me its way over the voltage limit but again Spektrum does not say any info on this connection and voltage limit, can you just plug it into the bind prot on the receiver and your good to go no matter what battery? your not going to fry the module?
I second another persons post. Just power it up on the ground where you are standing and set it off to the side. Go fly. They will still know you are flying in that area. If there is a plane that actually has the equipment to pickup the signal and they are flying that low, they will have other things to worry about , like a near by Cell phone tower. lol lol
Do you need to use the little battery pack if you are flying 3s, 4s, or 6s airplanes?
Someone needs to send a link of this to the FAA and tell them to read the comments…
thanks for showing the battery powered option 👍
No problem!
Welcome to communism i will never comply with the great reset . freedom!
Awesome awesome awesome thank you thank you thank you 100% with you
I’m with ya. I got a Sky ID module and went to register it at “Drone Zone” but I just can’t do it. Why? Because my fixed wing, line of sight, non automatic flying toys are NOT drones! And The FAA does not have the right to my address, phone and cash to track my flying toys! Oh…yes you can just buy one module BUT you have to remove the wing of each plane each time to install the government tracking device and that can lead to crashes. I have written the FAA repeatedly and also the AMA asking what they are doing about this. I may have a new TH-cam video soon of an FAA induced multiple RC airplane bonfire.
Very helpful Brian, thank you……..
