I run ReduxAir.com, an fpv racing drone manufacturer in Ohio. We have no way of knowing how to become an FAA-certified manufacturer. Such a regulation would stifle our competitive advantage with Chinese and European manufacturers because it would prevent us from getting hot products to market. Competition with top FPV pilots, companies, teams in and

I fly every day and would not be able to if the rules go through as written now . I guess I would brake the law or find a different hobby.

I am mostly saddened for the military veterans. If you were to visit an RC airfield you would notice that the majority of the pilots and builders are die hard military veterans. Many of whom have been flying and / or building aircrafts literally for decades.

I fly fixed wing RC planes at a sanctioned flying site with safety regulations in place. I’m NOT a drone flyer and I don’t like being lumped into the same group as drone flyers. YES, theres a HUGE difference between an electric drone (quadcopter) and a fixed wing airplane!!!

Model aviation is an excellent way to teach my kids about science and engineering, get them outside away from video games, and spend quality time as a family. Losing this would be a severe blow to the innovative spirit of Americans.

It’s what brought me back to building things by myself and gave me a routine to follow when i was wasting away my time. I also learned a lot more about embedded systems because of this. The FPV experience is still one of the most exciting experiences i can have on a regular basis, pushing

Fpv saved my life, and possibly other’s lives… I was an addict and flying racing drones gave me the outlet to experience healthy happiness again. (8 years strong)The community is better then most support groups. WE built these drones using motors and a gyro, and I can’t help but feel like big business is stealing

I thnik the FAA efforts would be BETTER spent regulating MANNED aircraft activities.

I have been a modeler and flyer for years, enjoy the hobby and flying without a bunch of restrictions. What the Feds seem to be doing is taking away our freedom to fly away from us.
