This hobby is something my dad introduced me to and have made it possible to have father and son time together, both building and flying. I hope to be able to take this same hobby to my children and have something we are always able to do together. This hobby has also been a big

Flying a built from scratch FPV aircraft is by itself an amazing experience,but building it it and setting up its software is a procedure that requires knowledge in electronics and software.This hobby,being so fun and immersive when flying FPV has led people with no former knowledge on the subjects I mentioned to research study for

Relax, enjoy, be free…

My brother and I were taught to fly at by our Dad when we were like 5 and 6 years old, and at age 57 we still fly together. our safety record is Impeccable. With my kids now flying we will keep it that way. Now with the FAA trying to control our hobby, That

Because my sons and grandsons enjoy a good hobby

I can barely afford the hobby as it is. I will not be spending additional money to comply with government regulations. I do not have any official flying fields in my area, therefore I would not be able to adhere to new laws restricting flight to those nonexistent fields.

I am simply a hobbyist. I got interest in RC airplanes as a child, but could never afford them. Now that I am much older, I am flying RC aircraft and teaching my sons as well.

I teach STEM in schools and the passion to learn great skills when I show model aircraft is immense. My passion started with an old Mills 0.75 engine from my uncle. From then I designed, built from scratch then flew plans for many years. I learn’t so much engineering process as well as research and

Model Flying is all about engineering, more than many other hobbies. The extent of efforts taken is by choice from pure recreation to professional/competitive pastime. As an aeronautical engineer, all that matters in the ‘big’ aircraft world, i can find everything in my hobby, scaled down.

I think it is very important to get kids into this hobby because it might start an interest in technology and flight. I myself might not have chosen to study electrical engineering, if it wasn’t for the fact that I got interested in the electronics surrounding RC airplanes and multicopters.

Very enjoyable! Like slow gliding. I feel gov’t. is getting too intrusive.

I have been flying model planes for twenty years. I am a recreational and sport flyer and enjoy the camarderie and fun that this hobby provides. The proposed regulations in my opinon I believe would severly hamper our great hobby and cause a lot of unnecessary burden. The safety record of the AMA speaks for
