Ultralights don't require a pilot's license. How do they fit into the thinking on all this?

All that's going to happen is that there's going to be tens of thousands of people now flying "illegally." The vast majority of people with small (less than 5 lbs) will just ignore the whole thing and do whatever they want. Some percentage will be caught and cited.

So you're saying the State of Oregon's law about this is invalid? I find that hard to believe. Legistlative Counsel is not full of dumb people. See section 837.380 https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills ... rs837.html

You're saying that a city couldn't 100% ban drone use within it's borders?

Just incidentally, you have the rule of law reversed. Local governments can make things *more* restrictive than the federal government and state government anytime they want, and do, all the time. It's the other way around that they cannot do; a city could, for example, ban smoking in all...

It's been illegal to threaten (or imply threat) to the President since 1917. It's hardly a first amendment issue.

I bought a phantom h3/2d in Dec for a very specific project that the client required a drone for last month. It went well, I really enjoyed the phantom, got pretty good with it and love a lot of the shots I got, other than it just being plain fun to use (although a little nerve-wracking...

I saw this before - completely the dudes fault. Ridiculous.

He then rotated the leg backwards and out slightly. It's a smart change, considering if you have second thoughts, extra legs are cheap enough.

So I finally got a reply from B and H and they refused a return for the second time. I'm a little peeved about it but seems I have few options now. I guess I'll just keep it and try not to feel gypped. It's funny, I ordered from B and H because I feel guilty about getting their big paper...

That's weird. So mine has self centering throttle, gimbal lever on the controller, but one antenna, and old props. The gimbal lever is from the upgrade they did though.

Well, the first response I got from them was refusal to return because it's a kit that they opened to install the zenmuse. I understand their point, as they can't now sell the individual parts because they are opened and installed. However they still sell the kit as I bought it, and I haven't...

The throttle self-centers. Well, both sticks are spring loaded - that's self-centering, right? To be fair, I may have not asked the right questions - as I said I'm totally ignorant. When I was researching the purchase, I saw that new versions had self-tightening props and a few other things...

I just purchased a phantom kit from B and H - the one where they pre-install the zenmuse gimbal and test it, and install the upgrade board etc. I assumed since I just bought it last week, and they said "you'll get new stock" I was getting whatever the newest version of the phantom was - but it...
