Likewise, sUAS can be effective in imaging without the need for section 31 and 33 waivers. I fly my Chinese Mavic Air knockoff out to a mile or more and can maintain awareness of attitude and altitude.

I fly my Chinese Mavic Air knockoff out to a mile or more and can maintain awareness of attitude and altitude.107 31 doesn't say "aware" it says "Fly a UAS beyond your ability to clearly determine its orientation with unaided vision".That's not physically possible at a mile unless you are a "strange visitor from another planet".You're making my point - your liberal interpretation of 31 violates the FAR, and we all know this would be something extremely tempting for CAP members, especially gung ho cadets with proficiency on the UAV but lack of knowledge ofCAP procedure and rules.
I wish I had the optimism that E Todd has but I do not. We are returning the P4P we were assigned to the Wing to be put in the closet
In addition, they bring WALDO down here and it does some really beautiful 3D imaging.
... put in the closet until National gets their stuff together.
Here's the nutshell from the seasoned members...NHQ and individual wings should not be issuing press releases that indicate "fully operational UAV, etc."when no such mission or capability exists.
Why in the world do sUAS MP and sUAS MT need hazmat training?

If those batteries are LiOn, they are much different than those in an Lper, flashlight, etc.

Marketing it to our customers? Silliness.
