Hey Binge, I can see you are desperate to keep this thread of yours alive ....
I recently spent the day at Drone School X where I presented basic radio principals and signed off on AROC and GELP for the participants. What I found was a dedicated class who desperately want to maintain safe drone operations with their expensive toys, a very impressive lot of toys too I might add!
My observation is that the horse has long ago bolted on this issue. I was happy to assist these folk getting their qualifications. It was a fun day and I might also add the pay was good. I look forward to doing more of this work.
Did I mention the drones were impressive .......
