Flying Matters to me because I have a high stress job and due to many family responsibilities it takes a toll on me and my body. However being in this hobby and lifestyle I have used this as my escape to center myself. The ability to just be able to fly up in the clouds

Flying is another way to be free. I’ve always wanted to be like birds to be free and have their view and FPV has given me that sight. It is also fuel for innovation, education, engineering and a center for social collaboration. Take that away and it takes away our freedom. These regulations won’t work

Flying is my personal release in life. I work long hours, I’m a father and a husband as well. We all need an escape and some freedom to keep a level head and a good attitude for those we love. On the other hand, building and flying stretches my brain to think differently, solve problems,

I’m currently an aerospace engineer who started flying rc at age 11. Flying was a bit part of me finding my career and learning alot of what I apply at work every day. Now, I have 2 young boys, 5 and 8 who have a risk of not getting those same educational experiences just because

Playing with RC cars as a kid was always fun. Dreaming of having a flying plane. Now that I’m older I can fulfill my dream through fpv and feel the same joy I had as a kid. Being able to teach my daughter how to fly is also fun. It’s a great hobby that should

I fly mostly outdoor in areas with little to no people present. I fly near my house on a whim at any time. I always fly lower than 200 ft and I fly mostly below 50ft. These regulations are going too restrictive and are going to make it difficult to enjoy the hobby.

I’ve been building/flying drones since I was 15yrs old. I am 18yrs old now, and going to school for electrical engineering. I build/race drones locally at parks, fields, and local events put on by milwaukee and chicago drone groups. If restrictions are put in place, it would prevent future generations the opportunity to learn and

Building and Flying model planes since I was 5. Flying RC since I was 14. Used my aviation skills by joining the Navy working on jets.

I Fly at an AMA approved site along with 30 other people. We are all AMA members and do a fine job of up holding the safety guidelines set forth by the AMA. We have an excellent safety record and dont see any reason why we would need any type of restrictions set upon us.

Flying to me is stress release, a time to go out and have fun in the world of flight. I enjoy going out and exploring new places to fly with my brother as part of it. That would all be taken away, as would my ability to afford the hobby.

Model aviation has proved to be an extremely safe hobby over the past several decades and is extremely important for education. It teaches not only aviation, but aerodynamics, electronics, and model-making to name a few, but also can lead to other skills such as CAD design, and 3d-printing. Taking these opportunities away, or making them

This is using a cannon to hunt a ant. Stopping all recreational flight in general and posing a world wide threat to all model aircraft users because FAA rules will have effect world wide. I grew up with model aircraft since 8 years old learning electronics, mechanics, wood work, glueing, composite materials, airodynamics and a
