Hi everyone. I'm a newbie here. Been flying electric RC helis in Florida for a couple years now. Doing well but not an expert yet. I work for the electric company in the transmission lines department and I am also a thermographer. I'm looking to combine all of this into one funfilled hobby and quad copters looks like the way to go. To make things easierI was looking to get an assembled kit from jDrones. I seem to have seen something about a shipping problem to the States with the weight of the entire unit. Does anyone have an update on this? I see the stock goes up and down daily and I can't seem to get a response from them. Looking for some advice on this.

Only shipping limitation to USA is for registered and unregistered mails. EMS is working always.
Starting from last December all post offices around world got notified that AirMail packets 500gr or over will be stopped at the borders and they go trough extra security scans etc. That can delay shipments a lot or even worst cases totally destroy.
All assembled kits will be shipped with EMS so no worries about that.
This rule is made by umm "Homeland security office" or similar. And latest knowledge what we have is that this rule ends on 10th of March but well last time they said that it would end on 8th of Feb so who knows...
