“I started flying RC at the age of 8, 30 years later, still at it. Went from flying nitro at AMA approved fields to now being 100% backyard electric. As the proposed regulations stand now, I’m looking to have something very dear to my heart stripped away for ever. With the exception of my helicopters, all of the aircraft I fly today, safely in my backyard, have been scratch built. Now, to pay membership fees, and drive for over a hour, just to maiden a little foamy airplane that cost less than $20 to make, is just something I can not afford. By all means, regulate the commercial side of RC flight, but leave the recreational side alone.”
