This would fall under corporate decision making. What corporate already has in place for something like this will establish what lower level employees have to follow. I doubt being a proponent carries any weight. In not actively selling product via a business website or store front there's nothing to indicate sales volume from efforts of product/company support. If they can't see actual $$ from product count private support means little or nothing. That position might be supported by the number of forums they provide a company rep to act as the face of the company. Aside from the Yuneec Facebook page I think that number of forums is zero.
Either way, every day is a new day and who knows what tomorrow will bring. The original post for this thread was my way of eating a little crow after a dose of "chit happens". Doesn't taste very good but as careful as I have been with the H it illustrates it can happen to anyone. Flip side of that is none of the consumer drones on the market are built to, or use, any kind of product standard. We get whatever they want to give us, take it or leave it. User manuals, autopilots, GPS, compass, motors, ESC's, transmitters, firmware validation, etc, there are no standards. This is where consumer drone buyer leverage needs to be applied, pushing for the development of an "industry standard" to assure the consumer will be provided a safe and reliable product from any manufacturer providing them. They don't have to be the greatest thing since sliced bread but they do need to have a minimum design standard and published anticipated life cycle under normal operating conditions, which also has to be defined.
I doubt it will be long before the feds see it the same way and impose some draconian level of compliance that will have to be met. If that happens before the makers develop and publish a standard all the multirotor makers will end up out of business due to the cost of achieving a federally imposed minimum standard. All the individual components would likely have to pass through some level of ASME testing and compliance to receive a blessing before it could be marketed to the public. I think the relationship between their government and ours is about to sour quickly so being proactive is in their best interest as well as ours.
