Model flying has been an important part of my relationship with my Dad since he got me involved in 1965. Even with me moving away and there being over 2,400 miles between us at times we had this hobby to talk about, share experiences as well as using on-line buying to gift each other with

My concerns are the the execution of remote ID actually increases the risk to flight safety and security. My position working on an Air Force base provides me a unique perspective to test The threat of unnamed aircraft facing the installation.

Its the only hobby I have had for most of my life and it’s the only one I never fail to enjoy. I sincerely hope that anyone involved in the creation of these ridiculous regulations will burn in hell.

There is currently an ignorance and a “fear” generated from nothing. In the past were UFOs, now drones … what will be next? Please, let’s think positive

I fear that under these

I distinctly remember watching airplanes at the airport across from my grandparents house and dreaming about sending a radio controlled model up. I started with an inexpensive and low quality ready to fly product from a toy catalog. While I did have some successful flights
