I took the test on Aug 30th... submitted the application online at IACRA two days later.

A new box appeared on the IACRA site today when I logged in. I now have a Certificate number listed in addition to the green button access to my temp cert. At least it's progress.

I own a set of guards from www.smartpowercharge.com I don't always fly with them but I do use them when I'm in situations where they might save me a blade strike on an obstacle when flying in close quarters. They seem to be sturdy and don't add too much weight to the aircraft.

Perhaps I do seem a bit touchy if you take my comments above out of the context with which I mean them. I'm not just speaking of my own posts and the reactions/comments to them and not just this one time. I've watched for a long time on this forum and there seem to be a lot of instances where...

Please forgive such a terrible oversight IrishSights!... I didn't see that it was posted in the Matrice sub-forum. Given that the whole site is called Inspirepilots.com AND he mentioned the X3/X5... it was indeed an assumption on my part but an incorrect one. I was simply trying to help and I...

The landing gear on the Inspire 1 should retract fully out of the camera's view if all is working correctly. It was designed specifically for that purpose. Some upward angles might restrict you at times but by and large your field of view should be clear once the gear retracts to the upward...

Perhaps use two Bluetooth headsets (with ear plug style ear buds that seal your ear canal for noise reduction) and simply place a call between your two phones?... You'd have duplex audio (although you might have some echo/bleed if you're standing really close to one another) and noise reduction.

Yes... At the four week point I pretty much started checking every other day. Everytime, I'd get the automated response that my materials had been received and that I was in the queue.

A quick update... my 333 exemption finally posted 8 weeks after submission. A bit longer than expected but it's on the FAA site now so here's hoping the rest goes well!

I submitted mine on 7/15/15 and still only the basic "we have it but it hasn't been posted yet" reply. Here's hoping they get to me sooner than later!

I'm getting the same "auto reply" as you are Quadpilot and it's going on 4 weeks. I called the FAA and they assured me that right now it's taking up to 5-6 weeks to get into the system. I hope I'll see it's moved on to the next step in the approval process soon...
