AMA Drone Report 04.26.18: Special Rule Defended, Apple Drones, World Games

Also: CO Drone Regs, Mosquito-Packed Drones, Aussie Drone Race, DJI Data Security

AMA has an urgent message for all of us who value our model aviation freedoms... especially as washington politics started getting pretty weird this week... AMA is calling on ALL of you to once again to preserve the Special Rule for Model Aircraft.

They have stressed in the past few days that we may need you to become engaged multiple times as this legislation develops. AMA is calling on you to once again make your voice heard. As the House of Representatives considers several amendments regarding the FAA Reauthorization Bill, it is now more important than ever to contact your representatives. Drone pilot Duncan Sinfield has been regularly capturing videos of the construction of Apple's new circular campus in ... dubbed "Apple Park" ... being build in Cupertino, CA. But that looks like Apple is not particularly keen on the idea. The circular building described as looking like a "spaceship" has been under construction since 2014, and the building has been in use since September, 2017. The World Games 2021 in Birmingham, AL will include two FAI air sports -- drone racing and canopy piloting – a spectacular form of skydiving that combines precision and speed – will be on the program of the multi-sport event. The decision to include the two air sports was made public at the SportAccord Convention in Bangkok, Thailand, by The World Games organisers the International World Games Association (IWGA). All this -- and MORE in today's episode of the AMA Drone Report!!!
