Just in this for fun because I love flight! At this point I’ll mostly build my own aircraft and I’m really not exited about added complexity.

I’m a high school teacher working to teach my students the design and engineering process through model aviation. This regulation shuts down my entire program.
aviation is like an addiction to me. When I go long periods of time without it I get this itch to fly. I like the flite test community because It provides a cheep and fun way to fly being that I’m 15 and have no income. I have built many models and from what I’ve

Flying is a great hobby to help students learn about engineering and sciences. These restrictions could limit the outreach and accessibility afforded these students.

This is a hobby for my son and I to enjoy. We build the aircraft fly them and wreck them. Then fix them fly them and not wreck them as much if possible. Registering all of our planes would have been burdensome at the least and darn right expensive at the worst. Expensive for us

I fly for recreation. I find it enjoyable and relaxing. I also see value from the standpoint of education, especially STEM programs that utilize aviation or something associated with aviation.

Flying is relaxing to me. I used to fly as a kid and started back up as the hobby became cheaper after my family has grown. I’ve taught my kids to fly and my grandson is extremely into planes and I would like to encourage him to maybe get a career in aviation.
