“I have been a modeler since the age of 10 and actually became a commercial pilot and flight instructor due to my interest in model aviation as a youth. I continue to fly many types of model aircraft to this day, all line of site at local AMA fields and private properties, such as my own rural acreage. Two of my granddaughters are very interested in both model and full scale aviation right now as well. I would hate to see such a rewarding and educational hobby gradually eliminated by the current FAA proposed rules.”
