“Flying matters to me because it’s the only hobby that I have that allows for complete originality and a sense of control outside of myself. I started flying as a teenager because my dad gave me a Latrax Alias and that turned into building my own quadcopters and eventually racing with friends and flying freestyle. I’ve never once endangered the welfare of myself or others and I believe the most if not all pilots are the same. This isn’t just a hobby, it’s a culture in it’s own right and it should not be limited by and outside organization.”
