“It’s relaxing, stimulating, and enjoyably entertaining…..and also profitable as a Part 107 pilot. I’ve been flying for 45 of my 57 years, both RC and GA. I fly at parks and parking lots, around my house, at large fields I drive by, at our local AMA club field, off the side of a mountain, off the dunes and beaches of North Carolina but also at any legal location I need to to get the photos, videos or mapping I am hired to get done. To not be able to toss a small foam plane into the sky at my house would ruin the hobby for me. Time is a huge limiter for me. Sometimes 5 minutes is literally all I have. But, also being a very small time commercial drone pilot, I will not be able to withstand large financial limits placed involving RID.”
