Building and flying model aircraft isn’t just a personal hobby. This is a multi generational community that learns and grows with each other. Placing burdensome regulations that only negatively impact hobby RC flyers will be to the detriment the people in it.

I believe in the un-spoken law of flight ethicality , You assess the area of flight , you arrange for a spotter , You keep a safe distance from other ppl/animals/cars and you do not record/publish anything without permission from all parties involved. I flight FPV in SA . I have self built 3 Racing

I enjoy the DIY process, the technical challenges, the skill development process and the social aspects.

in part its a freedom issue (power grab by the FAA) but more so, the proposed rules fail miserably to accomplish their stated goals, and do so at enormous cost. My story, is that of a hobbyist turned areal surveyor, in rural ND (and around). It is not a significant portion of my livelihood, but

I have been flying RC and building scratch built planes since I was 12 years old. Flying RC is one of my favorite hobbies and is something that I try to make time for several times per month. My main concern with remote ID is that I live in a rural area with a weak

I have flown both professionally and for recreation for more than 40 years. All of these new restrictions on the hobby are nothing more than a solution in search of a problem to solve. As someone has said: Model aviation is not a crime. So why make it one?

pure enjoyment, able to see things i couldn’t see before. great hobby, i follow all the rules without any issues. all of my drones are registered with the FAA , and DJI tracks all flights, i make flight plans, and i plan to take my Part 107 test soon, so i can make an external

Every day is an airshow. Every day I challenge my skills. As a scale modeler, I learn the historical context of my models. As an educator, I use models to teach. My kids learn about airplanes, physics, engineering, technical building skills and self confidence. As kids we all look up and imagine what it would

Flying, especially in line of sight, should be unrestricted. Most accidents that occur are on accident, something a Id will not correct. We are just getting into the hobby and the electronic upfront cost is higher than expected. I can only imagine what more hardware and a subscription would cost to not only the consumer,
