G+_Larry Havenstein Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 As if the FAA's changes effecting UAVs wasn't enough now congress is getting in the mix. http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ContentRecord_id=8c18ceb0-4ca0-4a1d-a251-cf8e9e94c06e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Havenstein Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 If I read this right it will require quads that are flown outside to have GPS. How else can they be limited on where they can fly "Automagicly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Havenstein Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 How does this effect the home built craft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Larry Havenstein Increased cost for all of us, and flight controllers that refuse to arm without GPS enabled is my first guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Havenstein Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Considering you can build a flight controller from an Ardino or RaspberryPi it will be kind of hard to put the clamps on flight controllers. Also somehow will need a way to control the inexpensive small quads/helis from flying outdoors as there are physical limits on how small you can pack in a GPS that works. Basicly it will make a mess of the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
