“I have been a flight enthusiast my entire life, although I have only given RC a try within the past year. I have always enjoyed tinkering and especially enjoy the design and innovation aspect the hobby provides. I typically try to keep the costs of my models low because I cannot afford expensive, complicated equipment and I am concerned that a remote transponder would put the price of the hobby out of my reach, especially if transponders cannot be shared between aircraft. Furthermore, I see a disturbing trend in the younger generation. Young people today do not build or create as previous generations have, and restricting the RC hobby will increase this problem further. I pray that these concerns will be taken into account when new legislation is drafted.”
