FCC bans all foreign UAS systems!

[Jacek Radzikowski]

This applies only to FCC certification, what creates an interesting
situation: this pretty much kills most drones used by professionals, who
need something what flies, and they  don't want to know about
technicalities. What probably will be very bad

On the other hand, it changes almost nothing in the fpv world, because some
components don't need FCC's blessing, and hardly anyone cares about
certification for those, which should have it anyway. IIRC DJI with their
digital system were the only ones who cared about completing paperwork.

Given a choice between two theories, take the one which is funnier
