“Flying is an escape from work and personal stress that motivates me daily, it’s something that I use mentally as an aid to looking past frustrating or depressing events. It is a creative process, designing, building, customising, tuning, repairing systems, demonstrating, explaining, sharing, exciting, inspiring etc. These regulations will effectively kill all of this, and, considering the essential influence this hobby has in educating and inspiring future generations, that is essentially a stupid thing for a country and economy to do.”
