“I have been flying off and on since 1975 have seen many changes in the hobby . Now for lack of better commercial access we are to waive our flying privileges in the name of safety . Our hobby has already proven to be safer than full scale aircraft yet you wish to and there is no better way to say this . Sell us out for profit …shame on you all . I will be 70 this August and this is truly an assault on our recreational ability and a burden to most modelers. What you will end up doing is making many of us criminals from your actions.
Sincerely ,Raymond E. Bertrand Jr.”
