This hobby, from building to flying has allowed my grandchildren and I to connect on a closer level. Personally, I have learned so much about aviation and electronics. I’m still amazed that I can build something that flies. I have trouble believing that the FAA understands just how big this hobby is and how much

I run a STEM program for over 150 high school and middle school students in the Twin Cities (MN) and it will grow to over 1000 kids next year, spanning multiple states. UAVs are an amazing entryway into STEM, and it the upcoming rules would be very prohibitive in terms of compliance and costs and
I’ve been around planes since I was a kid. My dad taught me to fly in a safe manner. I’ve been involved in many sports/hobbies throughout life and this is one everyone can enjoy no matter if you’re even in a wheelchair.

Flying matters to me because it allows me to be free in the sky as if I where a bird. Just cruising in the air minding my own business. This has helped me and others stay away from trouble and possibly getting into bad habits but since FPV, that is all I had interest for

Gives me an escape for the everyday Hussle. Keeps my mind sharp with all the thinking that goes into not only the building but the flying as well. Closest thing I can afford to flying

I support identificqation, but it should be done the same way as small real airplanes – via some form of ADS-B transpoding. However the equipment must be inexpensive, small and lightweight. Identification by some form of internet/cellular connection is NOT the right way to go about this.
Flying matters to me because planes and aviation are my passion. I joined the USAF to be a mechanic and now I am a A&P mechanic after retiring. Love aviation history as well as the freedom of flying, both line of sight and recently FPV. Both worlds bring unique perspectives to aviation experience. Ive flown

Thank you for providing a forum for me to express my deep concern over the proposed rules regarding UAV. Aeromodeling has been in existence longer than full scale aircraft construction itself, some 120 years. The Wright brothers and their contemporaries certainly built and flew models before they attempted manned flight. The quest for flight has

I have submitted two responses to the FAA. Simply, separate drones and quad copters from fixed wing and heli. Separate the fact we fly from local parks and approved certified fields in visual line of sight, from, I fly from my back yard with my Walmart brand quad copter over accident scenes. Help us find

Ridiculous. I’m more considerate and safe than most of these numb skulls curbside. It’s one way I teach my kid about safety and you wanna take it away?
