Changes

Goodbye from Rich OwingsIt is with mixed emotions that after nearly nine years at the helm of this site, I am turning it over to someone else.

The FAA has basically banned commercial use of drones for the time being (although an NTSB administrative law judge recently cast doubt of the legality of the ban). That doesn’t seem to have deterred the feds though, who are even issuing cease and desist orders for non-commercial use. read more
