discuss Discuss and Showcase Drone Domain Names

[Avabelle]

I have recently read that the drone industry is trying to change the word "drone" to something different.

The word "drone" has a very bad rep. for obvious reasons.

What do you think will happen with the word "drone" and drone domain names?

Feel free to showcase your drone domain names on this thread.

:tu:

Well done FX, you are an inspiration to us all buddy

 

[ESellers]

We have unmannedrone.net. Please what is the value?

Just picked up KeepDronesOut.com. I think privacy will be a sub industry with regards to drones - any feedback appreciated!

I dont think it worths much really the .net + typo...

But good luck anyway

Finally the FAA proposal for the new rules is out.. a lot laxer than expected.. for small UAV not even a pilot license necessary, just some basic certifications specified in that proposal.. sounds good so far *thumbs up*

My mistake we have unmanneddrones.net.

We would like a valuation again please.

Thank you!

unmanneddrones.net is available to register?

 

[STELLAR]

unmanneddrones.net is available to register?

Based on his posts I think he meant "UnmannedDrone.net".

 

[Cal2]

unmanneddrones.net is available to register?

The misspelling of using one d instead of 2 is still available in .net, as well as in .com.

 

[gilescoley]

Based on his posts I think he meant "UnmannedDrone.net

He had actually had it correct in the first post and then corrected himself to the "incorrect" domain, I was just pointing that out

Movement in the legal sector of the drone markets:

The Federal Aviation Administration released Sunday its long-awaited proposal for governing small commercial drones, setting a plan for remote-controlled aircraft to share the skies with passenger planes.

The FAA proposal would allow drones weighing up to 55 pounds to fly within sight of their remote pilots during daylight hours. The aircraft must stay below 500 feet in the air and fly less than 100 mph.

People flying drones would need to be at least 17 years old, pass an aeronautics test and be vetted by the Transportation Security Administration, but a certificate wouldn't require the flight hours or medical rating of a private pilot's license.

The FAA proposal and the presidential memo represent the latest progress in integrating drones into U.S. airspace. Congress set a September 2015 deadline for establishing rules and standards, although the Government Accountability Office doesn't expect the agency to meet it.

The certification requirement for commercial drones could be contentious. The Air Line Pilots Association, a union representing 50,000 commercial pilots, has urged that drone pilots be highly trained and monitored to prevent midair collisions.

+ no pilot license needed
- aerial deliveries not allowed (for a while yet) as sight contact has to be maintained all the time

generally i see the proposal as more lax and positive for the UAS/UAV community than was to be expected from FAA.. 2017 (when these rules get into effect after the public hearing) will be a a big year for the whole US UAS/UAV market indeed, still other continents might be one or two steps ahead by then already..

Just reg'd GardeningDrone(.)com, found it not too bad for a $1 fee name

Not too bad for a buck!

Definitely far worse names out there.

I sold GardenCopters a little while ago.

Then there is this:

[jamesosix]

whilst that does apply in the US, it doesn't apply to other nations, so its not that bad imo. Most importantly, all other points seem to be pretty favourable to a general drone enthusiast.
