Probably first thing I'll do with my spectrum one is take that plastic case off and see how small I can make it.

Still waiting for my Module to ship. Was hoping it would get here before los banos, so i could at least try it out. Says backordered until December now.

People bitching about flitetest $100 id price and him explaining there's a big difference between something that transmits remote id and something that complies with all government regulations and transmits remote id.

Well I hate to prove the Youtube dude wrong again, but it looks like we will be getting into the Remote ID game after all.
I suspect we will fall in the "impossible" price range.
It is my opinion these companies are making a massive profit at $100. (I estimate the more popular provider has already made $375,000 profit off of their first 2 batches of units sold thanks to that high sell price and the number of registered units.)
I will add that I do not like the Remote ID solution, but if it is the law we got, and I guess it could have been far worse. I'll do my best to make it as cheap as possible for our community.
I know the rough costs... Now to make it happen.

How can we help make it happen?
I’d support a kickstarter.

Yep, I bought one of those as well. Seems well made, he said he's looking at using a different, drop-in regulator that will be good up to 18v (the current is only good to 6v, so you need regulation/BEC for anything more then a 5cell NiMH). I don't think he's going into full production though, he's just making them in small batches as far as I know.
Hopefully someone will work with him to get these produced in quantity.

We are working with David to bring a slightly updated version to production. (Turns out David is one of our customers. 
)
He has updated the voltage regulator and tested it well beyond what anyone should be running through a receiver, all is good. A few small changes to the layout of the board and components to make it a little better for all.

That's awesome Wayne. Glad you guys are making this happen. This is really the first RID module available that I think is aimed at traditional RC power/glider aircraft and not just quads. Any rough (as in what quarter of 2024) ideas as to availability? I messaged Dave earlier today to put me on the list for a couple more when he has some available. March is gonna get here way earlier then we think and while we fly a relatively remote slope, still wouldn't want to lose it due to being too caviler.
