In this RCModelReviews episode, we dive headfirst into the tumultuous world of remote ID for model aircraft in the USA. Love it or loathe it, remote ID is now a harsh reality for all American enthusiasts, with the looming September deadline hanging over their heads like a dark cloud. The spotlight shines on Drone Tag's solution, the Drone Tag BS, touted as the beacon of hope for those seeking compliance without breaking the bank. Priced at a seemingly reasonable $50, it promises to be the savior for many, but is it all sunshine and rainbows?
However, as we peel back the layers of this seemingly affordable solution, cracks begin to show. The Drone Tag BS, while cost-effective, comes with its fair share of drawbacks. From the absence of a built-in power source to the need for intricate wiring into the model's power system, the road to compliance seems rockier than anticipated. Add to that the additional costs for antennas and the fragility of the UFL connectors, and suddenly, the $50 price tag starts to feel like a distant dream.
As the FAA's stringent regulations continue to cast a shadow over the model aircraft community, the future looks uncertain for enthusiasts. With the possibility of needing multiple remote ID modules for each model, the financial burden could quickly spiral out of control. Despite personal reservations about remote ID, the reviewer remains open to testing the Drone Tag BS, shedding light on its functionality and practicality. As the clock ticks down to the September deadline, the need for compliance looms large, leaving enthusiasts grappling with tough decisions and mounting costs.
