To get back on the thread here:
The Torrent manual says the Torrent is/will be FCC Accepted under Part 15. The Website says and Amateur Radio License is required. If it is "FCC Accepted" under Part 15 no license is required. It would be just like our transmitters. The Torrent manual and website are kind of contradictory on the issue. But, ... at this point the Torrent is not being shipped. Actually it looks like the expected shipping date slipped from late April to early May. This delay could be due to a delay in FCC Acceptance.
I believe for these run of the mill FPV aircraft, that FCC acceptance is a good way to go. For the folks who want more capability and/or want to modify and experiment, then I believe the Amateur Radio License is the way to go. But to use FPV under the auspices of an Amateur Radio License (Part 97), we need to either get some Amateur Radio restrictions changed or change our equipment and it operation to meet the Part 97 requirements.
