“I am passionate about the sport, having been flying model planes since I was 13, almost 60 years now. I am an AMA and Valley Flyers member (http://www.valleyflyers.club/). I fly and volunteer at one of the few designated fields in the Los Angeles Area – 25 miles from my home. Occasionally I fly at one of 2 designated small local fields and comply with the restrictions (electric only under 5 lbs limit). I have submitted comments to both the FAA and AMA and included comments about the need for 2 classes and more fields, not less as mentioned in the YouTube video by RC Informer (Richard Baker). I believe that the FAA regulations, if not adjusted to support our hobby, will be a sad loss for the next generation.”
