I have flown off and on since I was a young man. I built model planes as long as I can remember. If you implement this proposal you will destroy the “want” to get involved in aviation. When you look at the people who started in model aviation, like Neil Armstrong who’s love of aviation

Hello, I have been flying remote control air planes for nearly 8 years now. I’ve built nearly every plane I have with fan fold foam insulation. I’ve purchased plans from other remote plane pilots off of the internet. I’ve gotten 3 friends to join my fun past time and along with my son to join

I started flying 6 years ago, and live in rural Pennsylvania. Model aviation has taken a wonderful significance in my life, and is very important to me. I wake each morning eager to get to the build/repair table in the winter months, and eager to fly in the warmer months. I love building aircraft as

I’ve have been flying full size aircraft for 20 years and model airplanes for 60 plus years. As a full size pilot and as a model airplane pilot I was taught that the safest way to fly was to ‘see and avoid’. Any new aspect of aviation should be required to do the same. They
Building and flying my airplanes have been a great joy and relaxation for me now for 57 or so years. I’ve been involved in building, teaching, and flying RC airplanes since I was 10 years old and would be extremely saddened if FAA rules add to the expense or rules involved in flying RC airplanes.
Upon first learning about FPV drones over 3 years ago I have never been happier or more fulfilled when it comes to a hobby or extracurricular activity. The pleasure and enjoyment that comes from planning, research, study, building time, programming, and the beauty and sheer enjoyment of flight is second to none. I’ve always placed

I was very interested in aviation as a boy. I became an engineer and I attribute a lot of it to my interest in aviation.

My main interest is in very low wing-loading thermal duration gliders (6′ span, ~20-30 oz.) flown mostly off farmland and parks (away from people and powered model aircraft, both of which are incompatible with launch lines). Typical launch height is 600-800′ AGL, which results in flight time less than 3 minutes without thermals. A good
These new regulations will destroy the future passions in one of the most important STEM groups this country has to offer. Flight was born here and its a disgrace that we are about to enact the most draconian laws hobby flight has ever seen in the entire world. Sad time for our country

Flying is my “drug of choice”. It is my relaxation, my education, my passion. Flying RC is something I started doing at the age of 8, I am now 62. With the proposed regulations, I would have given up in frustration and ability to financially comply. These proposed regulations will absolutely kill the desire, fun
