Perhaps you should mention that pilots are required to make sure their RID module is operating correctly (ie: has a GPS fix and is broadcasting a valid signal) every time before they take off. To fly with RID module that isn't broadcasting a valid signal is a breach of the rule. I wonder how many people will actually check though -- especially if the module is inside the fuselage of a foam model where the LEDs can't actually be seen and when checking operation would actually require using the app on your phone to validate the signal.
@@modquad18 Which makes the job of moving your RID module from model to model even more annoying (having to make sure it's lined up with the view-hole). Also, how do you do this without butchering your lovely scale model by making holes in non-scale places or ruining the cockpit detail by stuffing a RID module in there? The bigger question is *why* is there a need to do this on a traditional, line-of-sight, fixed wing scale model aircraft? I don't hear of these models being used to annoy people, violate their privacy or menace airliners at airports -- do you? Regulatory over-reach at its worst. The truth is that this is just the next step in a plan designed to marginalize the hobby in favour of corporate interests that want the 0-400ft airspace all to themselves. Remember -- *YOU* can't fly a tiny foam plane BVLOS because it's not safe but Amazon and Wing will be flying much larger, heavier more dangerous craft BVLOS because they pay for that privilege. It's all about the money -- and those corporations don't want the hassle of having to deal with "inconvenient hobbyists" using *their* airspace.
Should not have been much of a surprise to anyone. What could go wrong with thousands of drone pilots, with zero training flying around in the National Airspace System? Tim
I get a comforting feeling watching your videos. It gives me the confidence that I know what's expected of me as an RC pilot as far as FAA regulations are concerned.
Land usage is becoming a problem. One club was shut down after 20 years here cause the land was sold. Now another club is facing the lost of their site as the land has been set aside for a new school.
@@JDDupuy Yup. US population increased by around 80 million folks since 2000. They have to live and work somewhere. Sadly, there will be nothing but more pressure on a lot of RC clubs and their land. Tim
Our club in Florida has a very unique situation, we fly on an active military outpost. Our club is not an AMA charter even though most of the members are AMA members. Even though this field is miles away from the main base it's still activated even though no military aircraft have landed here in years, it's more of a reserve or emergency use runway. Because this is a restricted military airspace no commercial drones will ever fly through this airspace. Any rules and regulations set forth by the FAA are null and void in our situation. We do have to follow certain protocols when flying here, we have to contact the base to see if the airspace is not hot, no drones are allowed, only RC aircraft that are flown line of sight are allowed, no FPV is allowed. We must also monitor aircraft band scanners to see if any other aircraft are within the area. Civilian aircraft can pass through this airspace if it's hot but must maintain 1000 feet AGL. We are allowed to fly up to 600 AGL because we have a lot of glider pilots in the club. It's not the perfect situation, but it sure beats having to put up with the bullshit that the FAA is cramming down our throats pertaining to remote I.D......
Thanks, Tim, for your comprehensive explanation of the differences between "standard" RID and "broadcast" RID. I now know what the term "basic" refers to. Yes, changing the broadcast module from one plane to another will be a pain. I have a few smaller planes where the installation of the module will probably affect the CG...we will have to see.
FYI, I purchased a HS720G from holystone on Amazon. It exceeds the 250g limit. It is NOT equipped with a standard RID. I purchased a RID module from holystone, activated it and now I simply look for a flashing green light and a steady battery light. So holystone isn’t complying. $80. I registered it with the FAA and I believe I can use it on my entire fleet.
That spectrum engineer is smart for doing that.Our hobby is hurting bad enough with everyday inflation.And he knows increasing the cost of model kits will further hurt scales.I knew this was coming and this is a wise decision by Horizon hobby to make.The planes can fly without remote ID installed.My V900 doesn't have it and it flys fine,becides,I have no plans of installing a remote ID system in that aircraft.
Good morning , I was wondering if anyone had received the remote ID module from Spektrum yet . I ordered a couple over 2 months ago and haven’t received none.
Crickets from them. Ordered and paid for mine 29 Aug 2023. Spectrum is a waste of space these days. I'm down to 2 radios from them. Jeti, Graupner and Radiomaster are my go to radios.
Still confused ???? So were to fly and how to get permeation ? Recreational flying locations? Were not to fly... ok use common sense....do you still have to register with the FFA ????. Thanks Tim, Goode Job bringing this information to our attention..
All RC pilots need an FAA registration number. $5 for three years, one number for all models (recreational). Stay below 400 feet altitude and use the app B4UFLY to ensure all flights are in uncontrolled airspace. Tim
Spectrum engineer can talk to you but can't seem to get their units into the hands of customers who paid 3 months ago. Thank goodness for Holy Stone RID modules.
I don't think remote ID is really required for actual radio control model airplanes.Airplanes are flown line of sight and maned at all times.Airplanes fly at a high rate of speed very low to the ground.My planes don't have anything outside of the normal servos and receiver and now of course an ESC.I think all this remote ID stuff is for multi rotor type drones that fly automouslly well beyond like of sight and at a very high altitude.I think the FAA is just being concerned about the potential of a midair collision with a full scale aircraft.This danger simply doesn't exist in the classic radio control model airplane/helicopter flying hobby.I have been flying without remote ID and it's been non eventful,just another day at the park field.
Just because you don't fly rc airplanes high doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It has happened for a long time. Airplanes were the first FPV and long range platform and still are the most popular for BVLOS. Also, the danger in quads is primarily from camera drone operators (DJI style). Racing drones are kept within 500 ft and not higher than 20 ft in normal operation. Racing drone pilots are highly skilled. The problem is lawmakers are ignorant and listening to corporate interests who are chasing venture capital.
@gordonmckay4523 Yes. The point is that lumping in all quad pilots together as dangerous and untrained is wrong. There are racing drone pilots who have skills way beyond most rc plane pilots. The reason for all this added regulation is not quad pilots. It is the lobbying of the corporate drone industry. If safety was the goal, the FAA focus wouldn't be on enforcement, it would be on training. Blaming quad pilots is a cop out.
I'm sure the "new"will wear off. I've had my "drone" for nearly 3 yrs.,and have never had it out of the house yet. I,m 71 yrs. old and a retired(just recently) longhaul truck driver looking for something to pass my time with. Wouldn't hurt for you to "cut a little slack" to folks that don't want to fly planes. Rant over.

I doubt anyone will check this detail. Folks still busy taking off with reversed controls, etc. 😖 Tim
Mount the module so the LED can be seen, or punch/drill a small hole in the fuselage in line with the LED. Modeling 101, c’mon.

It's all about compliance, compliance, compliance. 1984 style compliance. The introduction of drones was the deathnell of this fine hobby,

I believe that part 107 operations, even when conducted in a FRIA, still require RID.
Correct. Tim

For what it is worth, if flying recreational and outside a FRIA, you need just one (1) RID for your entire fleet of models. Tim
Thanks Tim 👍

Negatory. All RC planes over 250 grams and less than 55 lbs need RID, unless flying in a FRIA. Tim
Is it rational and reasonable? Absolutely not.
Is it legally required? Yes.
Your government at work.

Hey Tim; just what is the cost of that horizon hobby RID module ?
(psst... don' be shy..go to horizon and look up $..😉)
The SkyID lists for around $100. They have/had a pre-order special price of $70, not sure if that is still in play. Tim
@@rudyho3790 Rather hear it from Tim for all to hear. I stay clear of HH. Not my cup of tea ☕ with their exorbitant prices.
