Kelly Shores is a FAA Part 107 certified drone pilot. He enjoys flying toy drones, camera drones, RC airplanes, and FPV quads. When he's not flying drones, Kelly enjoys photography, biking, travel and hanging out with his family!

I just gave up. It's pointless. I bought a holy stone hs720g in July. It is on the FAA declaration of compliance list, but it's 100% not compliant. Holy Stone says putting their RID module on it makes it compliant. So the FAA can F all the way off. I'm going to keep flying my non compliant drone that's on the compliance list lol.

Kelly such a great interview of Ken. Ken has a way of making a simple trip such an adventure. I have known Ken from listening to him when he was in Birmingham on 107.7 The X. Then 4 years ago I came across TNL and there was Ken. Loads of fun just don't let him fly your drone.

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

That last part of your wisdom must be from first hand experience.😉

[@JimBoshart]

I truly know how that gentleman felt by wanting a picture with Ken Dono....... I mean @Ken Heron..... 🤡❤ Can't wait for April 2024 in Florida.... to see the wonderful family again!!! SpinUp, unfortunately, wasn't possible but it looked like a GREAT time....

[@KenHeron]

[@readysetdrone]

Happy New Year! Looking forward to flying together in 2024!

Kelly and Kris, thank you for the replay of Ken Heron's interview and discussions at SpinUp2023. Nicely Done!

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Kelly i missed Spin Up 2023. I wish i could've made it but had other plans. It was good to see you at Mindfield. Made some good memories.

[@readysetdrone]

Agreed Bob! Hope to see you again in 2024!

[@BobCaseyAerial]

@@readysetdrone I plan on going to Mindfield. I’ll bring plenty of Dr Pepper. Hope to see you there Kelly.

[@dyna-drone1952]

Great video guys one of these days I would love to meet all of you may being on the west coast a little harder since you guys are closer to the East Coast but someday yeah someday maybe when I get 100 subscribers I’ll head that direction

[@BrantAerials]

15:47 "How do we have fun without pushing it too far?" Good question. Ask Ken again.

[@SunriseWaterMedia]

True!

That was sarcasm! @@SunriseWaterMedia

Awesome interview with Ken Kelly . 😂Ken is such a character ❤️👊🏻

[@baggszilla]

This was great! We all love Ken!

[@mark33328]

I called it the second the AMA caved into the FAA restrictions back in 2015-16. The FAA will continue to require more hoops and fees to fly until only commercial pilots can afford it. This used to be a very fun hobby but not anymore.

[@dahlia695]

I knew what a "cart" is. I must be old :(

[@felixruiz2838]

RID will fall of course it will !!

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

may I ask you about this Remote ID? Is this something expressly for Drone flyers? This is over my head but I know it's important. Can you direct me to a link to better understand this? thanks for your time

[@felixruiz2838]

The FAA site is the best

[@mattalford3932]

Remember all drones sold in the us over 250g are required to have RID built in. Starting in September or December 2022.

[@RebelByNature]

one of the reasons, cost another, no registration a third, is why sub 250 gram drones will be the top sellers. Therefore, going forward, most drones won't be broadcasting RID.

[@mattalford3932]

@@RebelByNature it's not that I don't want to be compliant. It's just a broken system that isn't getting fixed. Non compliant drones are still being sold. Even though they aren't supposed to be.

[@RebelByNature]

@@mattalford3932 Ok, my point is that most people, most drones being sold (recreational fliers buying sub 250g drones) do not *need* to comply. Even DJI Mini 4 stopped broadcasting RID when used with the standard batteries as of the Dec firmware update. Stated another way, what percentage of recreational fliers, the vast majority of fliers, will be buying the relatively more expensive, bigger heavier drones?

[@ghettorecording2925]

oldguyFPV; As applied to a US Citizen, RID, part 107, and any other FAA regulation that attempts control personal and/ or privately owned air space, is unconstitutional! Fly safe, fly free!

here's to the failure of remote ID. Cheers 🍻
