fsz8 Sorry about the slow response. Just noticed the question and figured I'd post what I had in case you(or anyone else) could still use it. First: yes, that's the Can-bus capable plug. Not sure what the 2 wire plug is, I didn't use it. Basically I made up a jumper connector using a 4...

Where do you make public comments with the FAA?

Are you addressing someone specific? Your response was posted right after mine but without reference, I did not want to simply assume your comments were directed at what I said.

Or maybe I should just post my registration online in an easy to down load format "for ease of access with my smart phone ya know" If everyone did it this registration system would be useless right quick! Everyone just flying around using other's paperwork (as premitted under the loan-a-craft...

Your missing a big point! you DON'T have to get a license for much of what you listed if you only do it privately or for free non professionally. For one this registration presumes that 1" off my back lawn is now public (not private) space(and not the relm of states authority). You don't need...

Have not decided yet! Part of me says "show at least some resistance" so as to discourage them expanding unchecked once the get their toe-in-the-door. One thing I've learned is that "they" always expand until finally they reach some level of pain. The poor and common people get pushed out, and...

You may be on to something. I'd like to see their public answer to: Yes Mr. federal overseer I have a question. I'm worried some pedophile may get little Johnny's number and use it to find out where he lives. Or what if he posts Little Johnny's number online where other pedophiles could find...

One problem is this ruling will focus automatic suspicion on legal "drone" owners. It's clear to me that this registration is primarily designed to be used as a tool for law enforcement. Problem is the legal drone owner will often be the "ONLY" suspect. When someone calls in complaining that an...

Sounds like we could use some pointed humor about now, while staying on topic of course. For those suspicious of registration I'd like to announce my nephews new business. This enterprising young man is willing to rent YOUR OWN DRONE back to you on a 99 year lease term, DRONE REGISTRATION...

I was hoping that if the FAA got involved it would be based on their more reasonable guidelines for general aviation where unlicensed novices are restricted from higher risk problem areas. And committed pilots could earn the right to operate to the edge of space if they choose. Such a system...

I admit to thinking the same but it is short sighted. The next generation is always the life blood of the future. Be it taxes, hobbies, or the military you must always welcome(tolerate) replacements for without them you are in decline! It's how you vet the bad apples out that makes the difference.

BTW there is a V3 version of the board that has a CAN-bus output connection that will work for iosd, ect. It's not a standard DJI CAN-bus plug but you can make a plug that will work(I think I used a battery balance connector). Note last postings that say our wiring was reversed from what's shown...

EricAZ Yeah, mine needed the two wires reversed too.

In case you didn't know: If the upper part of your old motor is functional you may be able to pull off the lower retaining clip and exchange uppers. Then wire it for the direction you need. here's a good vid showing what you need to really test motor windings.

I disagree! This registration is about enforcement databasing of PEOPLE not drone safety. If this was about safety they would have come up with a tiered program where unlicensed have limited safe access, more experienced could get a license after they proved safe competency and get extended...
