No, there will be "some", they will just be very stingy and slow with making them. Then when people complain they will say "well, you can always get rID".

Thank you for the update! You do a very good job of explaining it. THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF GOV OVEREACH!

Great job explaining this new Remote ID thing, Tim. You're very articulate. I hope you have somehow let the FAA know how you feel about Remote ID. I think traditional fixed wings should not be included.
Came over to you from Xjet's search suggestion. I've liked, and scrolled to the end for the algorythm, but I'll watch you again fully - later. I fail to see how this i/d system can be implemented, because our club flying site in the middle of nowhere in Cheshire, UK, has very poor - if any - mobile signal!
I was watching and liking several videos before I watched this one, so the topic about remote ID is become trending 👍 What I was wondering in the meantime is what if someone puts remote ID modules on taxis, vehicles and garbage cans around an airport how much would this affect the air traffic?? Great video!!
Question for you, Tim: Just HOW 'heavy'/whats the weight of your Pronto model RTF? I was very encouraged by the campaign that Flite Test supported a few months back, to petition the FAA and Congress to reconsider the 250g weight limitation and seek to increase it possibly as high as a 1 kg. I'd personally be content with what size scales could be flown with at least 700 - 800g, if not a full 1000g...
I sent a few letters to my representatives regarding this. I am particularily concerned about needing RID for every student project. It is hard to homebuild and stay below 250g. Based on the responses, neither of my senators understood the issue. Is there an update on that campaign?
How are they going to know what our models weigh are we going to have to put the weight on the model along with our AMA and FAA numbers so if we do get approached by the authorities they will know The model weighs less than the FAA requires to have a remote ID in it??!!
Don: The way all FAA regs work is the assumption is that pilots follow them. With a full scale airplane (Cessna to B-777), and FAA Inspector can at any time do a "ramp check" to see that you have your license with you and a current medical. Believe it or not, pilots get busted on this. For drones, no one will likely ever check. But, if something goes wrong (crash, etc.) the FAA can and will check all compliance issues. Tim
Thanks for the video. I was toying around with the idea of building and flying my own drones but all the rules and such is kind of off putting. Looks like all I'd need to do is keep things under .55 pounds and register the drone right?
That was very informative explanation. Ty. My only question is. If you only fly airplanes. Do you need to register each plane in your inventory. Or just need the FAA number applied to each.. Once the FAA implements the transponder requirement?.. Thank you again .
I have looked on the FAA website and can't find anything about the sub-250g exception for drone registration. It used to be there. Did the do away with it?
Once again the FAA shows their ignorance of the model aviation community. I do intend to use a broadcast module when the price comes down to a reasonable number. I am not going to enter each foamboard model I build fly and crash. My fleet will consist of one aircraft identified as "Foamboard model" and I will enter the remote ID module information. it is especially ignorant of the FAA to not have the option to delete an aircraft. Do they think these are like full scale aircraft that get sold to other pilots? Thanks for the update. I got the same email recently. I'm not going to worry about it until it gets closer to the date. Maybe the FAA will fix the registration site by then.
Thanks Tim. Great information and review of what's going on with FAA. I just got my 180 day notice too. I'm gonna send your YT link out to our club members as this was very helpful. Safe landings.
This topic about remote ID is become trending , it's important everybody understands what remote ID is and what is going on 👍 What I was wondering in the meantime is what if someone puts remote ID modules on taxis, vehicles and garbage cans around an airport how much would this affect the air traffic?? Great video!!
From what I see, you can renew with just one model, recreational flying. But when remote ID starts (theoretically) on Sept 16, 2023, all models need to be listed on the FAA website. Thus the one remote ID module can somehow be linked to your model. Tim
Is there a way to edit device information after registering? I have a DJI Air 2s that I registered with the FAA two years ago. Now, DJI has enabled Standard Remote ID through a software upgrade and I need to add the RID information. Though I see no way of adding this information. Do I cancel my original registration and complete a new one?
I'm new at this asa well. I think the best thing to do is just add another device. I added a "dummy device" to see how the website works, cannot delete it. This entire situation is a work in progress, so best to go with the flow until the FAA gets the bugs sorted out. Tim
No fpv quadcopter manufacturers are adding RID because it is impossible too add them to them at the moment. The only companys that are, are dji and such which are a completely different type of quadcopter and nothing like a fpv quadcopter.
I am scared what is the FAA going to do to YOU when they catch you flying dirty (no ID) and the karin and kens are going to have a field day.. I may go back to RC cars if this gets out of hand
ONLY recreational aircraft over 250 grams need to be registered and a Reg number placed on it and also will be required to have RID come Sept of this year ( at this time ) that may change in the future but at this time it has not. ALL commercial aircraft regardless of weight ( including sub 250 gram aircraft ) has to be registered and each aircraft with the number on it.
@@FPVREVIEWS LOL.....Government play book, " say it long enough and everyone will believe it is good for them, no matter what freedoms and rights the give away doing it "
So, what impact, if any, do you believe all this will have on the RC flying hobby? I'm guessing a lot of folks will just not want to deal with all this stuff and try a different hobby.
@@TimMcKay56 - I agree. Happens all the time when technology becomes obsolete or, as in this case, is made obsolete by regulations. There is money to be made with selling everyone a new receiver or transmitter that has RID built in.
I predict most people (those who do not fly at club fields) will not comply and will just continue to fly their existing airplanes just as they are outfitted right now.
@@larrylutsky181 It will only be a problem if there is another problem for fixed wing aircraft. Unfortunately, everyone seems to assume that every camera drone is only used for spying on people and people are paranoid., and often less than rational.
I wonder how enforcement will go. I doubt my local PD will come talk to me about flying my plane provided im not doing anything stupid. My best guess is that it wont be enforced on a wide scale not enough man power.
How those FRIAS coming? Oh the good ole days when the AMA was on board with Remote ID when then they thought their air fields would be getting added to the FRIAS list (I mean just think of the increase in memberships)...........wait what the FAA hasn't approved a single FRIA.
Bryon: I have a video on FRIAs and why no approval. Reason is the 60 day environmental review needed by Federal law. This review will end the first week of July, so hopefully some FRIA approvals by the middle of July. The next big crisis will be FAA denial of FRIAs, which has already happened to a few clubs. Tim
@TimMcKay56 what is the justification given for these denials? Also, why the need for environmental review? Impact from RC aircraft to the environment approaches zero.
@@jasonhurdlow6607 No idea on the FRIA denials. I just started hearing of this. The environmental review is a law from the 1970s that any Federal action that might have an environmental impact needs this review. No biggee, just part of the process. Tim
Well Tim today I got my email from the FAA. That process that you outlined is not working for me. I have 2 drones that are compliant now, DJI Air 2s and Avata. I tried to change their status from No to Yes on the question on Remote ID, as both are broadcasting. Then I thought I would just re-register them with a Yes. Got a message that the drone serial # was invalid and I needed the Remote ID Ser #. Message also states to Contact Manufacture for the Ser #. I also have the Declaration of Compliance Certif. for both birds. So I just cancelled the process
Hello sir i know this question is un-related to the vid but wich is a better model for free flight model for a first time beginner. The guilliows lancer or the guilliows javelin.
I'm trying to stay up with the new regulations but as a competition sailplane pilot (or former), I'm bummed out. I've been flying park foamies to pass the time and getting my head ready for the last days of RC models.
Excellent Video. Good Job. Thank you for explaining how the sub-250 gram craft fit into things. Cubepilot has some Remote ID modules for $ 69 USD. Is that reasonable?? Dronetag now has a $ 49 remote ID unit. If you Google search "Remote ID for drones" these devices will come up. The only thing about these modules is that they are a circuit board designed to wired into the electronics which makes them a bit more challenging to move from craft to craft.
Buddy: Thanks so much for this update. $70 for a RID module works for me, as a recreational flyer I can swap between aircraft. I am certain more cheaper and lighter ones will come out. See ya, Tim
I have two RC planes over .55 lbs. So I get one registration number and put that on both planes? Or I get a registration number for me and have separate different numbers for EACH of the two planes? Horizon Hobby B-17G and F4F Wildcat. No RID. Also, I'm a AMA member. What about T.R.U.S.T. ? Do I need to take that test and carry proof along with my AMA card? Thanks to anyone who can answer.
Mike: As a recreational pilot, one registration for all of your aircraft. Same number. Yes, you should take the TRUST test, carry a copy in your field box. Test is correctable to 100%, can be done on a smart phone, you will learn a lot. Tim
Weird how you mentioned the number that are complying… there is no recreation companies on that list… 😔 I looked at the whole RID compliant list… it’s just work/agricultural and giant payload craft that they have listed. And the popular camera drones… It does look like Hollystone has an approved self contained module though, that’s kinda interesting… for the people that just want to tape on a module and fly and not have to deal with setup and wiring.
I also received this renewal letter. I registered in 9/3/2019 and expires 9/3/25 ? I'm not sure why it'6 years, but it is ! Do I have to register again with in the 180 days ????

@@TimMcKay56 - Tim, I am not sure that this is correct. The FAA defines a UAS "as an aircraft that is operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft". A free flight model would fall under that definition and if safety is the FAAs concern, regulating free flight models above 250g would make perfect sense. If you have info to the contrary, I would love to read about it as free flight is something I would consider with my students to avoid regulations in case our FRIA application does not go through.
What I understand about remote ID is, a couple bad eggs got them selves in trouble, so now every body else is going to pay the price. Welcome to America.
Sort of. Remote ID has been in the background since 2015 or so as a necessary foundation for commercial drone flights fully integrated with manned aircraft. Recreational RC pilots became a part of this wether they were aware of this or not. RID really is not a big deal, people getting way too spun up over this. Tim
@@TimMcKay56, The issue for me is, Government is constantly invading every inch of my life. I bought a drone, because Government didn't have their hands in the cookie jar. Now they have their hands in this cookie jar too. It's getting old. I have no use for Politicians and their made up rules. I feel I have wasted 2G on a drone. Government has attached then selves to my drone, I paid for the drone. They did not. They have no right to my drone. That's how I feel. Another freedom is being taken away. I don't mean to offend any one, I'm just tired of this dumb game. I'm interested in land far away from Government.
The delivery drones will be autonomous and hit birds constantly. The FPV pilots will not be the problem, nature will be the problem. Not putting a module on my Freestyle drones at $300. That is an extra cost to being a pilot and the FAA said manufacturers would give us options. Tags suck, the drone tracking apps suck and the FAA isn’t going to enforce the RID. What is the point if drone delivery is still 10 years away?
Thanks for the information 👍I'm totally disillusioned with all the rules they are forcing on us, more over I have a couple of dji minies and if politicians get their way I might is well toss them in the trash 😖..... Good grief
@@TimMcKay56 thanks for encouragement bro.... I own F3J models also, would love to get back into that hobby as well. Haven't flown sailplanes in a decade but that was my first love of airplane models. Drones are easy needing no airfields so I kinda like that. I just retired and would have a little more time now hopefully. Keep up the good work 👍 thanks again for the videos 👏👏😊
I found one case of a drone hitting a person when landing. It was from 2014 and the person was not injured. Such BS around Drone safety is very disheartening . 😢
There is that slippery slope problem. From regeneration of pilots That covers all your aircraft, to a list of your aircraft needed. Next will be regeneration if each aircraft. I would be there for hours typing in my list of aircraft, and by next week the list will not be correct, because its always changing, because of Crashing, repairing, selling, trading, building new, buying new and used.😎 The FAA really has no clue how the hobby works or what the real safety issues are.
Tim, please separate drones into quad/hex/octo copters and VLOS R/C airplanes. You keep referencing drones, but mean r/c airplanes flown from an AMA sanctioned airfield. To my knowledge there have not been any VLOS r/c airplanes produced that have RID installed. In three years, the Horizon Hobbies VLOS R/C airplanes will be equipped as they are in June 2023. The FAA site listing approved drones only references quad/hex/octo copters. Why is that? Is Horizon Hobbies going to be forced to provide RID in all VLOS R/C aircraft they sell? Remember, if installed, it must be used!!
Agree with KB below. The FAA looks more at wether the aircraft is manned or unmanned (to allow for see and avoid). If unmanned, they really do not care if a drone or fixed wing or helicopter. I'd say about 100% of the airspace violations are the quads, just the way it is as they are looking to take pictures or videos. I do think the Spektrums of the world will eventually incorporate some sort of RID in their "normal" systems. We'll see! Tim
@@TimMcKay56 I would say at least 99% of the "quads" violating limited airspace are of the dji variety. Fpv enthusiasts flying freestyle are virtually never above the tree tops.
I have a long stick with a camera on top I carry while rollerskating. Do I need to register, the camera, the stick, or the roller skates? Because in Europe you still have to register if your drone under 250 grams has a camera. So I guess all cameras are extremely dangerous.
@@TimMcKay56 Idiotic rule having to register a drone because of the camera. $15 drones have cameras. For some reason European commissioners with their secret lover in their paid for apartment always find privacy much more important than us normal people. EASA does not go over privacy but over safety. And if I want to spy on people I use roller skates with a phone in my pocket instead of a noisy drone. It s a disgrace people swallow all that stuff from the authorities. .
@@TimMcKay56 The problem comes from state and local governments which can add misdemeanor to felony charges for the operation of a non-FAA compliant aircraft. My advice is to know your local and state laws before becoming too much of a rebel.
I agree with the other comments here on your thread Tim..thanks for keeping all of in the loop doe for these upcoming changes. Keep the viddz Coming Tim.. I look forward to every one you put out..👍👍
By following the rules of remote ID you are fully letting government overreach happen and without discounting it entirely you are publicly showing neutral silent support.
Y'all realize the government will destroy the hobby. It's a shame there isn't more push back than what there is. I have a feeling the under 250 gram rule won't last long. you'll be lucky if you can still fly a kite.
Just give the hobby a 300 foot ceiling, anything below this ceiling does not need RID. How simple is that solution? Anything flying over 400 ft. Needs ID.
@@Markevans36301 You're very true, Just me wishingfully hoping the FAA would just go away and focus on CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT with actual people on board lives at stake. We The FPV Pilots are simply having FUN and they want to take that away. However I can and will fracture a law or two in my old age. :) The 'older we get the less we give a damn'! True statement. I use to think old folks were crazy saying that, now I know it's true!
300' is to low for many flyers and I don't see any problem solved by having people flying below 300' because RID is not designed to picked up by full scale aircraft or air traffic control.
I got the same email and renewed just the other day. I have two planes over the weight threshold, an FMS Easy Trainer 1280 and FMS Red Dragon. I listed those but checked the box for no remote ID. I suppose the assumption will be that they will be flown at a FRIA. Maybe yes and maybe no, but I simply don't plan to equip these cheap planes with remote ID. I have plenty of other planes under 250 grams. And I'll probably use the other two in my normal flight area, even after the deadline. My concession will be to get authorization via B4UFLY. That's as far as I intend to go.
interessantes Video, so ähnlich ist es bei uns in Deutschland auch. nur mit dem Unterschied das bei uns der Pilot eine ID hat die man auf die Modelle über 250gr anbringen muss. es gibt eine EU Online Prüfung, und wenn man in einem der Modellflug verbände ist, kann man bei denen eine Online Prüfung machen. die Regeln werden immer mehr je voller der Luftraum wird. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland interesting video, it's similar here in Germany. only with the difference that with us the pilot has an ID that you have to attach to the models over 250gr. There is an EU online exam, and if you are in one of the model flying associations, you can take an online exam with them. the rules become more and more congested as the airspace becomes more crowded. Best regards from Germany
Hey if I get license, and get part 107, registered et all... then that must make me a PILOT...Then I should be able to land at any airport I want to as long as I tell the tower i'm coming in with my cute red bi-plane toy...lol
who decided 250 grams was the weight limit, and what was the factor that determined it... seriously, 9 ounces? There are balsa and tissue rubber powered glider kits that can go into the 12 oz range....
You sir are not helping our cause at all. Non compliance is the only way! you dont need boaters registration on your rc boat and you dont need drivers licenses to drive your rc car so my rc plane or drone is no different.

If your drone weighs less than 250 grams (8.8 ounces) there is no need to register thus no need for remote ID, as RID is tied to a registration. Tim
The page for remote ID is not found on the FAA website as of today…
Copy!
That was very informative explanation. Ty. My only question is. If you only fly airplanes. Do you need to register each plane in your inventory. Or just need the FAA number applied to each.. Once the FAA implements the transponder requirement?.. Thank you again .
Ken: For recreational pilots, just one registration number for all aircraft. Tim
Is there any way to change the remote channel? Below 1000MHZ, used to avoid counter-guns（antigun）
No idea. Anyone else?? Tim
Thanks. Very informative.
👍🏻😊 Tim
I have looked on the FAA website and can't find anything about the sub-250g exception for drone registration. It used to be there. Did the do away with it?
It’s still there. Try Google your question, will pop up. Tim
@@TimMcKay56 I Found it. It is Part § 48.15 (b) Thanks for the Videos
Once again the FAA shows their ignorance of the model aviation community. I do intend to use a broadcast module when the price comes down to a reasonable number. I am not going to enter each foamboard model I build fly and crash. My fleet will consist of one aircraft identified as "Foamboard model" and I will enter the remote ID module information. it is especially ignorant of the FAA to not have the option to delete an aircraft. Do they think these are like full scale aircraft that get sold to other pilots?
Thanks for the update. I got the same email recently. I'm not going to worry about it until it gets closer to the date. Maybe the FAA will fix the registration site by then.
Sounds like a plan! Tim
One can only hope they fix it...or just say forget about it.
Thanks Tim. Great information and review of what's going on with FAA. I just got my 180 day notice too. I'm gonna send your YT link out to our club members as this was very helpful. Safe landings.
Glad to help! Tim
Say no!!! I will not buy into remote id!!! Our local field got denied a "frea" or what ever the heck it is. They are trying to kill our hobby!!!
Copy!
I don't think there well be any frais approved...forcing us to rid to fly at our community base club fields....
This topic about remote ID is become trending , it's important everybody understands what remote ID is and what is going on 👍
What I was wondering in the meantime is what if someone puts remote ID modules on taxis, vehicles and garbage cans around an airport how much would this affect the air traffic??
Great video!!
👍🏻😊 Tim
So aircraft under 250g don't need remote ID?
Chris: Correct. Under 250 grams means no FAA registration, thus no remote ID (which is tied to registration). Tim
@@TimMcKay56 awesome! Thanks.
Awesome video!
😊👍🏻 Tim
Am I required to register all 12 of my models or can I register just one so that I get the renewal?
From what I see, you can renew with just one model, recreational flying. But when remote ID starts (theoretically) on Sept 16, 2023, all models need to be listed on the FAA website. Thus the one remote ID module can somehow be linked to your model. Tim
Will they let u renew registration number ? Even if u don't add your drone to their list ? Great video
Yes it will.
Is there a way to edit device information after registering? I have a DJI Air 2s that I registered with the FAA two years ago. Now, DJI has enabled Standard Remote ID through a software upgrade and I need to add the RID information. Though I see no way of adding this information. Do I cancel my original registration and complete a new one?
I'm new at this asa well. I think the best thing to do is just add another device. I added a "dummy device" to see how the website works, cannot delete it. This entire situation is a work in progress, so best to go with the flow until the FAA gets the bugs sorted out. Tim
@@TimMcKay56 thank you.
No fpv quadcopter manufacturers are adding RID because it is impossible too add them to them at the moment. The only companys that are, are dji and such which are a completely different type of quadcopter and nothing like a fpv quadcopter.
Copy!
I am scared what is the FAA going to do to YOU when they catch you flying dirty (no ID) and the karin and kens are going to have a field day.. I may go back to RC cars if this gets out of hand
RID is here to stay, things will work out fine. 😊👍🏻 Tim
ONLY recreational aircraft over 250 grams need to be registered and a Reg number placed on it and also will be required to have RID come Sept of this year ( at this time ) that may change in the future but at this time it has not. ALL commercial aircraft regardless of weight ( including sub 250 gram aircraft ) has to be registered and each aircraft with the number on it.
Yup.
good job citing regulations. congrats. keep repeating until it makes sense...
@@FPVREVIEWS 😊👍🏻 Tim
@@FPVREVIEWS LOL.....Government play book, " say it long enough and everyone will believe it is good for them, no matter what freedoms and rights the give away doing it "
Thanks for the info. Leo
So, what impact, if any, do you believe all this will have on the RC flying hobby? I'm guessing a lot of folks will just not want to deal with all this stuff and try a different hobby.
Minimal. My view/guess is RID will eventually be built into all RC electronics. Tim
@@TimMcKay56 - I agree. Happens all the time when technology becomes obsolete or, as in this case, is made obsolete by regulations. There is money to be made with selling everyone a new receiver or transmitter that has RID built in.
I predict most people (those who do not fly at club fields) will not comply and will just continue to fly their existing airplanes just as they are outfitted right now.
@@larrylutsky181 It will only be a problem if there is another problem for fixed wing aircraft. Unfortunately, everyone seems to assume that every camera drone is only used for spying on people and people are paranoid., and often less than rational.
I wonder how enforcement will go. I doubt my local PD will come talk to me about flying my plane provided im not doing anything stupid. My best guess is that it wont be enforced on a wide scale not enough man power.
Enforcement for recreational drone pilots will be minimal to nonexistent, in my opinion. Just not enough personnel. Tim
What weird is there are full ass aircraft, and paramotors you can fly with no FAA licensing or testing required.
😊👍🏻 Tim
How those FRIAS coming? Oh the good ole days when the AMA was on board with Remote ID when then they thought their air fields would be getting added to the FRIAS list (I mean just think of the increase in memberships)...........wait what the FAA hasn't approved a single FRIA.
Bryon: I have a video on FRIAs and why no approval. Reason is the 60 day environmental review needed by Federal law. This review will end the first week of July, so hopefully some FRIA approvals by the middle of July. The next big crisis will be FAA denial of FRIAs, which has already happened to a few clubs. Tim
@TimMcKay56 what is the justification given for these denials? Also, why the need for environmental review? Impact from RC aircraft to the environment approaches zero.
@@jasonhurdlow6607 No idea on the FRIA denials. I just started hearing of this. The environmental review is a law from the 1970s that any Federal action that might have an environmental impact needs this review. No biggee, just part of the process. Tim
Well Tim today I got my email from the FAA. That process that you outlined is not working for me. I have 2 drones that are compliant now, DJI Air 2s and Avata. I tried to change their status from No to Yes on the question on Remote ID, as both are broadcasting. Then I thought I would just re-register them with a Yes. Got a message that the drone serial # was invalid and I needed the Remote ID Ser #. Message also states to Contact Manufacture for the Ser #. I also have the Declaration of Compliance Certif. for both birds. So I just cancelled the process
Yikes, thanks for this feedback. Sounds like a LOT more needs to be worked out. Tim
I don't think the faa can Handel there own regs
@@Airsally I think you are right and this is what I think might increase the backlash about RID
Nice video
Thanks!
Hello sir i know this question is un-related to the vid but wich is a better model for free flight model for a first time beginner. The guilliows lancer or the guilliows javelin.
Try the Lancer, just work to keep it as light as possible. Tim
@@TimMcKay56 thanks! I just bought the lancer! :)
we dont need RID for any type recreational drones or models. No one has ever been killed by a recreational drone so why the rules?
Copy!
I'm trying to stay up with the new regulations but as a competition sailplane pilot (or former), I'm bummed out. I've been flying park foamies to pass the time and getting my head ready for the last days of RC models.
Things will work out, just a bit of clear air turbulence now. Tim
Maybe it's time to get into model rocketry, no remote ID there, yet 😀
Great point!!
It's just Illegal as crap around me for a Looong distance already.
Excellent Video. Good Job. Thank you for explaining how the sub-250 gram craft fit into things. Cubepilot has some Remote ID modules for $ 69 USD. Is that reasonable?? Dronetag now has a $ 49 remote ID unit. If you Google search "Remote ID for drones" these devices will come up. The only thing about these modules is that they are a circuit board designed to wired into the electronics which makes them a bit more challenging to move from craft to craft.
Buddy: Thanks so much for this update. $70 for a RID module works for me, as a recreational flyer I can swap between aircraft. I am certain more cheaper and lighter ones will come out. See ya, Tim
Do you have to list all the planes, helicopters, and all that you fly???????
Seems that way . . . .

Question this only goes for fvp? I can still fly my 1.5mm P-51 Mustang with no worries of needing remote ID?
No remote ID if model weight less than 250 grams, or you fly in a FRIA. Tim
FPV has nothing to do with it. If it's remotely controlled, unmanned, operated outdoors for recreation, and above 250g you will need remote ID.
in the UK it's £10.30 every year
Thanks!
Weird how you mentioned the number that are complying… there is no recreation companies on that list… 😔
I looked at the whole RID compliant list… it’s just work/agricultural and giant payload craft that they have listed. And the popular camera drones…
It does look like Hollystone has an approved self contained module though, that’s kinda interesting… for the people that just want to tape on a module and fly and not have to deal with setup and wiring.
I am working on a video with a $39 remote ID module, 10 grams. Tim

So it's fine to have a free flight model without remote ID, no matter what the weight, and fly them anywhere we want?
So far, that is correct. Tim
@@TimMcKay56 - Tim, I am not sure that this is correct. The FAA defines a UAS "as an aircraft that is operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft". A free flight model would fall under that definition and if safety is the FAAs concern, regulating free flight models above 250g would make perfect sense. If you have info to the contrary, I would love to read about it as free flight is something I would consider with my students to avoid regulations in case our FRIA application does not go through.
Para gliders or hang gliders don't need them. Neither do ultralights.
@@ryancheesman400 - None of these are unmanned aircraft systems.
@@my_dear_friend_ true. Maybe they have slightly better situational awareness, but it's still BS
What I understand about remote ID is, a couple bad eggs got them selves in trouble, so now every body else is going to pay the price. Welcome to America.
Sort of. Remote ID has been in the background since 2015 or so as a necessary foundation for commercial drone flights fully integrated with manned aircraft. Recreational RC pilots became a part of this wether they were aware of this or not. RID really is not a big deal, people getting way too spun up over this. Tim
@@TimMcKay56, The issue for me is, Government is constantly invading every inch of my life. I bought a drone, because Government didn't have their hands in the cookie jar. Now they have their hands in this cookie jar too. It's getting old. I have no use for Politicians and their made up rules. I feel I have wasted 2G on a drone. Government has attached then selves to my drone, I paid for the drone. They did not. They have no right to my drone. That's how I feel. Another freedom is being taken away. I don't mean to offend any one, I'm just tired of this dumb game. I'm interested in land far away from Government.
What about rockets, such as Estes, Apogee, to name a few?
As they are unguided (unpiloted), not covered. Yet. 😁
Remote ID doesn't stop bad actors, therefore it's a useless encumbrance on all the hobbyists who fly safely.
Copy!
Thanks for updating. Complicance is not going to be great
Yes, will be interesting to see how this develops. 🤔
The delivery drones will be autonomous and hit birds constantly. The FPV pilots will not be the problem, nature will be the problem. Not putting a module on my Freestyle drones at $300. That is an extra cost to being a pilot and the FAA said manufacturers would give us options. Tags suck, the drone tracking apps suck and the FAA isn’t going to enforce the RID. What is the point if drone delivery is still 10 years away?
Copy!

There is that slippery slope problem. From regeneration of pilots That covers all your aircraft, to a list of your aircraft needed. Next will be regeneration if each aircraft. I would be there for hours typing in my list of aircraft, and by next week the list will not be correct, because its always changing, because of Crashing, repairing, selling, trading, building new, buying new and used.😎 The FAA really has no clue how the hobby works or what the real safety issues are.
Interesting days ahead! Tim
Its the government, no surprise here.
Tim, please separate drones into quad/hex/octo copters and VLOS R/C airplanes. You keep referencing drones, but mean r/c airplanes flown from an AMA sanctioned airfield. To my knowledge there have not been any VLOS r/c airplanes produced that have RID installed. In three years, the Horizon Hobbies VLOS R/C airplanes will be equipped as they are in June 2023. The FAA site listing approved drones only references quad/hex/octo copters. Why is that? Is Horizon Hobbies going to be forced to provide RID in all VLOS R/C aircraft they sell? Remember, if installed, it must be used!!
This is from Merriam-Webster: drone="an uncrewed aircraft or vessel guided by remote control or onboard computers"
They are all drones
Agree with KB below. The FAA looks more at wether the aircraft is manned or unmanned (to allow for see and avoid). If unmanned, they really do not care if a drone or fixed wing or helicopter. I'd say about 100% of the airspace violations are the quads, just the way it is as they are looking to take pictures or videos. I do think the Spektrums of the world will eventually incorporate some sort of RID in their "normal" systems. We'll see! Tim
@@TimMcKay56 I would say at least 99% of the "quads" violating limited airspace are of the dji variety. Fpv enthusiasts flying freestyle are virtually never above the tree tops.
I have a long stick with a camera on top I carry while rollerskating. Do I need to register, the camera, the stick, or the roller skates?
Because in Europe you still have to register if your drone under 250 grams has a camera. So I guess all cameras are extremely dangerous.
Good news, you do not have to register the camera. Tim
@@TimMcKay56 Idiotic rule having to register a drone because of the camera. $15 drones have cameras. For some reason European commissioners with their secret lover in their paid for apartment always find privacy much more important than us normal people. EASA does not go over privacy but over safety. And if I want to spy on people I use roller skates with a phone in my pocket instead of a noisy drone. It
s a disgrace people swallow all that stuff from the authorities.
