I was a college drop out, burned out, no motivation, and ready to die. I had no direction and was spiraling down a dark path, with no life skills to hold any jobs. FPV drones, model aircraft and everything in this hobby, saved me. I self educated myself on electronics, stem related education, and flight

i am like aeromodelling

When our second child was born, my wife suffered from some postpartum depression issues that required me to be home and unable to participate in some of the hobbies in which I used to engage outside my home like Jeeping, camping, etc. Building and flying my own fpv quadcopters gave me the ability to have

Stress reliever. Great hobby for me and the grand kids.

My mental health depends on my ability to disconnect from the world and fly my drones. Please don’t take it away from me.

I started flying in 2016. FPV flying quickly became my primary hobby. It led me into other disciplines, such as electronics, photography, videography and video editing. In the intervening years I have helped several local schools with their STEM programs w/re to electronics, flight and signals. I eventually brought my oldest two children into it.

Research and development into more high tech and intelligent flying systems in Engineering and STEM. These restrictions and Over reaching remote ID applications into amateur builds impede students involvement as personal projects or university projects in the field of drones and aeronautics. The remote ID regulation should be relaxed for amateur build hobbyists and students

Future of aviation will be greatly impacted not yo mention futute astronauts, pilots ect We need this hobby for future generations.

Anybody may buy a quad or BNF plane on-line or a Walmart type store, no questions asked, no safety rules, no local flying sites notated. Cities often prevent young flyers from using park even though the parks are empty most of the time. Tucson Arizona is a good example. RC clubs are being forced off

As an FPV pilot, I truely love this hobby. It’s not only about the flying. I love building, hanging out with friends, and introducing this hobby to those who have never seen it before. I consider FPV flying a high form of meditation. Because our flight is not automated, it requires a high level of
