Honestly, this is the best result we could have hoped for IMO.

COMPLIANCE without any effective change. I like it, considering the circumstances.

Good job DroneTag! They aren't stupid.

It's not showing any of that location data because GPS takes several minutes to initialize the first time to scan and lock on to sats and then update its almanacs to be able to provide precision coordinates. Also, you don't want to put this on a switch or turn it off, just cover the module and antennas with aluminum foil. You'll still be on and transmitting legally under compliance, you'll just have an almost unusable transmission range for anyone looking to hunt you down.

I'm just gonna tape a Lego man on and just claim it's a manned aircraft. And he identifies as a real man

Hey Ken, Thank you for your humorous review 😁You are right, we'd like to address some important points. First and foremost, we strongly advise against attaching antennas to any carbon or steel-like materials, due to potential interference issues. Your flight did not comply with RID regulations because the BS did not acquire a GNSS fix. Compliance is achieved only when the BS obtains a GNSS fix and has a blinking white LED, indicating readiness for flight. Our standard wire antennas are compact, which can lead to a delay in acquiring a GNSS fix, necessitating a waiting period. It is necessary, before the first takeoff, to upload Assisted GNSS data through our app. You can find the process in the instructions provided in the BS manual. It is required to do this before the first flight and we recommend doing this step before each flight. This will streamline the GNSS acquisition and transition the BS into flight mode, ensuring compliance with regulations. Lastly, it's essential to keep the Dronetag application up to date to prevent crashes and ensure smooth operation.

Such a shame that the Karen app doesn’t work any better than that 😂👍

[Joe_Fotoleo]

Lol at "yeah this sucks...which is good, right?" 🤣🤣🤣 8:00

What happens when you by accident put antennas on it that are tuned for the wrong wavelength, it that legal if you don't know and can't test it.

"SB fo hcnub a si sihT" thanks Ken. "Trees are dicks" I need one of those shirts man.

I flew an unregistered paper airplane over a crowd of people. Am I in trouble?

[YellowRoseDrones]

I've used Air Sentinel and Drone Scanner with mixed results. I've tested it with the Mini 3 Pro, Avata, DJI FPV & 2 Holystone RID units. Hit & miss on the apps detecting the RID units.

I bought the FlightTest one. It’s bigger than it really needs to be but came with a connector to plug into the balance connector of flight packs. I have been using it but getting it attached to the quad every flight, since I only have one and mount it on top of the batteries, is annoying. What’s frustrating is that any of us using ELRS probably already have the hardware needed to broadcast remote ID as long as we also have GPS installed. I put GPS on all my 5” builds and smallest build I have with GPS is 3”.

Great tutorial on how to install BS on your drone. Thanks for sharing, Ken.

[BeyondPC]

What if people started attaching these to random unrelated things with a small solar panel and lipo? Maybe strap them to the ducks at the park?

[BabaYagaFPV]

I have the BS, was curious about adding the switch. From what I can tell, it resets the location of the pilot if switched off and on again to wherever the quad is when you hit the switch. In the end it doesn’t relay any useful info other than the serial number, which is all anyone needs to cook your ass anyway. But adding the switch gives you an incognito mode so probably a decent idea.

[stevendegiorgio]

You have to be able to turn it off from your transmitter so you can fly in complete privacy than turn it on just before you land and call it a day.

[shadowofchaos]

This is a good example of Xjet's theory of setting up to fail.

[dennisevers]

Clicked on here to learn something and found out it was just a bunch of BS. Two grown men playing on a kids just goes to prove Drones bring out the kid in everyone. And that is no BS. 🙂

[Mamatarantula]

THIS IS A BUNCH OF BS! If i win please double my prize and give it to the next guy

[Barty.Crowell]

First time GPS turns on it typically takes a while to get it's initial lock. Some have an internal RTC to help

[Happy_FPV]

Came here to see if people were gonna bitch about the props being in while working on it. And all I see is a bunch of BS. 🤣
