I live in Australia, but I am concerned about these regulations as USA law tends to transfer / be used as precedent by our jurisdiction. I have 32 models and paying to register each one and have each one on some data plan (even if fitting remote ID were practical) would cost far too much.

For my family this is the one hobby we all partake in together. We all fly FPV from Micro sub 150g up to 950g quadcopters. In total we have built from scratch together over 15 quadcopters and in doing so I’ve been able to teach my children micro electronics, programming skills, cad design, 3D printing,

Although, Remote ID is a good Idea for large commercial drones carrying payloads and operating non line of sight or autonomously, I do not agree that my three LB (my largest) foam model aircraft or one of my camera drones should be regulated. Most of the model aircraft I fly are made, basically, of beer

I’ve been flying rc most of my life and this is a blatant infringement on my right to fly and use the usa airspace like ive been my hole life with no incident and for you to do this is just wrong a money grab if ive seen one .
I started flying FPV in 2017. I had never flown any type of RC craft before, but I knew when I saw the first videos of people remotely piloting these drones that I had to give it a try. From there, my experience grew into enjoying fixed-wing flight as well. I enjoy making videos of

I have been flying radio controlled or free flight aircraft since I was a kid. My father didn’t know much about the building techniques, but would go out of his way to support my desire to build kits. We reached out for help and met new people with similar interests. That grew into a love

Flying has connected me to my Dad. He and I have always had remote control hobbies in common. With the Advent of FPV multirotor drones, he and I have something that we can do and share together even though we live 1,200 miles apart due to me being in the Army. He flies and sends

Multi rotor craft are drones. Model airplanes are not drones. Autonomous flight BVLOS is where the problems are and should be regulated. Its like playing Football and Soccer buy the same rules simply because both “could” be called Football.

When I was a kid, my father was stationed overseas for over a year in the USMC. My fondest memory from my childhood was my father coming home after a year and together we built my first model airplane and went flying down at the local school. Ever since that time, I treasured every opportunity

Flying has been in my family for generations. My grandpa and dad put in a private airstrip that would become off-limits to fly at if these regulations come into place. It’s the only place we fly. Flying and building of small aircraft inspires creativity and it helps kids learn about flight. Most aviators start out

I’m a veteran and suffer from PTSD. Drones have literally saved me from depression and has taught me new skills. After 4 years of flying Fpv aircraft, I’m still excited about the hobby. I love to share my knowledge and experience with the public. Please don’t take that away.

Building and flying gives me opportunities as an educator to bring new concepts into the classroom (aerodynamics, flight control, radio frequencies, electrical component assembly, etc.). On a personal level, flying is a great way for me to get outdoors and decompress after a long week of classrooms full of kids, it allows me to reset
