Elevon posted sheet prices on the spray drone table.

  • Z30 $23,950, Z50 $28,950, Z80 $36,950. Registration support is in those numbers. Batteries, charger, and spreader are not.
  • Assembled in Belleville, Illinois. Tariff on the table stays 0% for a U.S.-built finished airframe.
  • Maker sheet swath is up to 33 ft. Some dealers still claim 50 ft on the Z50.

A DHS lab scored a DJI Matrice 4T above Blue UAS aircraft at Hudson Yards. The public report left the number out.

  • DroneXL says a restricted addendum, SAVER-T-R-40, scores the Matrice 4T at 4.6 and the Matrice 30T at 4.3, against 3.7 for the Skydio X10D and 2.4 for the Parrot ANAFI USA GOV.
  • DHS has not posted those scores. It says it does not endorse equipment on the FCC Covered List.
  • Pilots and the Drone Service Providers Alliance want the comparison public. The addendum is still a trade-press copy, not a department release.

The FAA posted a new Section 44807 approved-aircraft list on October 2, 2026.

  • ABZ Innovation L50 V1 is marked as a change or addition. Approved maximum takeoff weight on that list is 238.10 lb.
  • Being on the list is a safety finding for that model and weight. It is not a spray license and not an FCC grant.
  • Other spray models already on the July list were not marked as changed. The spray table is unchanged.

The FAQ now answers what FCC Conditional Approval is and why U.S. manufacturers use it.

  • CA is a named-model determination the FCC publishes so that aircraft can stay off the Covered List while a U.S. onshoring plan is in force.
  • It is not a pilot license, not Part 137, not NDAA, and not Blue UAS.

Agri Spray Drones of Boonville, Mo., says it is moving from dealer to manufacturer. The next airframe is based on the EAVision J150.

  • Press release dated August 31, 2026. Company page: agrispraydrones.com/whats-next.
  • 2026 plan is U.S. quality control, small-batch assembly, some U.S. parts, and U.S. servers. Full-scale U.S. assembly and a U.S.-designed frame are listed for 2027. Target for 2028 is critical parts plus at least 65 percent of drone cost made in the United States.
  • ASD calls this a conditional-approval pathway. The FCC Covered List (last updated September 18, 2026) has not yet posted a named Agri Spray or EAVision approval.
  • Current J70, J100, and J150 remain on the Spray Drones table as EAVision. No new model name has been published.

The Software report now includes DJI Terra Agriculture.

  • Terra is DJI’s Windows mapper for Agras work — local 2D field and orchard maps, multispectral indices, and prescription / route files the Agras remote can load.
  • U.S. list price is $300 per year for three devices. A one-year Agriculture seat has also shipped with Agras purchases.
  • SmartFarm App still flies the sprayer. SmartFarm Web is still the cloud reconstruct path. Terra is the offline cousin of that middle step.

  • Software — OEM flight apps plus third-party map and job-record tools used with those aircraft.
  • Regulations — FAA, EPA label law, FCC Covered List / Conditional Approval, and the 9/3/2026 tariff rates that sit on a U.S. sale.
  • FAQ — short answers on licenses, cost to own, custom work, and the same federal rules.
