I was a helicopter pilot and know that there are regulations needed for the safety of person and property. But these recommended changes to the hobbyist is ridiculous and unnecessary to a hobby that around the world has never had a fatal accident in it’s history. If a person does not fly with the safety

As a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) teacher, I can tell from personal experience that few things trigger students’ technical interest more than watching something they’ve made fly, meaning that building a model aircraft might just be the thing that pushes a student to go for a degree in engineering, computer science or some
