My flying fields are mostly either designated fields or unpopulated areas. As a private pilot I could fly an aircraft here without radios so why should they be required for RC models. At Maximum the RC hobby should be no more restrictive that airplane flights. At least don’t impose the restrictions for licensed aircraft pilots.

I like to build more then fly as I’m still learning.I do enjoy flying on my own property without restrictions.These new laws will just put a burden on or small community.As commercial drone get away with no line of sight flying.
Flying matters to me because I found it to be an effective therapy for depression, anxiety and even pain. FPV gives me disassociation from my physical body and provides a sense of true freedom. The first time I felt this, 2 years ago I flew my home built 2-pound FPV quadcopter through the fork of

Finding clubs within a couple hours drive is difficult. Local kids/adults will flaunt law and not register/ID.

I have friends and relatives that fly drones, expensive drones
I have been an avid modeler for approximately 45 years and have rarely seen cases of injury cause harm to other bystanders except on the occasion when proper risk assessment was not followed.
