I build, tune, and fly my own drones. I enjoy racing and freestyle, which doesn’t take me beyond the line of sight. My altitude is typically well below 200′ and my range is typically well within 600′. The areas I fly in are unpopulated fields, parks, school grounds, indoor facilities with a steel structure, and
Flying model aircraft and multirotors has been very important to me and my family for a long time. I remember being a 10 year old kid when my Uncle bought me all of the parts to build my first RC airplane and taught me everything I needed to know to build it and fly it

I don’t fly, but watching the videos of Flite Test and seeing all those smiles. I still want to see crazy projects.

I’m not sure I understand the true purpose of the rules. If the rules are meant to prepare us for a world of commercial UAS usage (such as Amazon package delivery) then they should be focused more narrowly on those areas. The rule does nothing to prevent people who want to from flying in illegal

I started flying RC planes to join my son in a hobby he picked up at school. Nearly all of our planes are foam-build slow flyers, that we fly at our neighborhood park. With Remote ID requirements, the hobby suddenly becomes more complex to even get into, with casual hobbyists potentially being illegal without even

I have always wanted to get into the RC flying hobby, after subscribing to Youtube channels like Flight test I see the barrier to entering the hobby has come down. The ease of building and reduced cost has made it possible to enter the hobby and enjoy. I also have been really interested in multi

Rc flying has always been a source of freedom, comaradery, it was a way to connect with my Father some 55 years ago. This connection I had with my Father made it possible to share this facination of flight with many others. To this day, I still have a very close relation with these buddies
