Summary: Ron, a retired individual, opposes the proposed ban because it will prevent him from purchasing replacement batteries and parts for his existing drone. He argues that the ban will render his equipment useless within two years and requests an exception for the sale of repair parts.
I recently received a skyrover x1 drone for father's day. It was expensive at $850. Now I'm understanding that it will be banned. We will be able to keep them and fly them however, the ban will leave us unable to get batteries and parts rendering them useless in 2 years.. 2 years is the shelf life of the skyrover batteries. They are intelligent flight batteries as each cell is monitored for voltage to allow for even discharge and charging. The design is proprietary and only available through skyrover. Please allow skyrover to sell repair parts and batteries so we don't lose our ability to fly our drones. I am 69 years old and retired and my health is poor. There's not much that I can get out and do. I can't afford another drone .
Thanks,
Ron
