Hobby since childhood, now in retirement and teaching others to fly. I never have had any interest in FPV or drone flying, and have no intention to do so. All my planes are fixed wing electric. I am concerned that legitimate safety issues regarding drones are not present in fixed wing aircraft and that FAA
I grew up in an aviation family, my dad was a pilot in world war II and we owned a private plane growing up, as such I was exposed to aviation at a very early age. Some of my best memories are of hanging out with my dad at the airport and of building and

I fly on my property or on open field with permission why should it matter to the Gov. More regulations means more money.
I got into Flying RC after I retired in 2002, (had previously built and flown one plane in 1972 while stationed at Ft. Hood, TX but always wanted to get back into the hobby). I began with traditional materials, but soon discovered Styrofoam board construction, and it has become my favored method and material. I

I don’t see how geofencing is even possible for fixed wing traditional model airplanes.
My aircraft hobby is one of the only things left that brings me great joy in my life. I would hate to see this taken away from me and others.

This is a hobby that I just got into a few years ago and want to be able to continue flying without the extra expense and complications that this will have. I do not make a lot of money and it is expensive as it is. It would be a shame for this to end

I have flown for 35 years, will fly rogue if necessary, they cannot inforce regulations. If the police are doing the inforcement, they won’t care.
I’ve been in the hobby for over 40 years on and off and now apply these skills in my work developing tools for collaborative robotics to improve agricultural efficiency. I own 27 hobby scale aircraft including fixed wing and multirotors all are flown within VLS and the cost of individual registration and data plans would

Model Flying is STEM in the “outdoors” not just in the classroom or in front of a computer. Very important to the education of students OF ALL AGES who want to LEARN.
For me, flying model airplanes is my favorite hobby as it is a great way for me to relax and have fun. If the government wants to make the hobby strict when it can be corrected just by teaching the newcomer pilots a couple of things they need to know beforehand, a lot of the
