I am also the founder of the FPV Exchange, designed to permit pilots to buy and sell gear for remote control hobbies locally with other pilots rather than shipping items thousands of miles across the globe.

As a member of 4H and Civil Air Patrol working with youth, these rules would severly impact our mission. It is hard enough getting kids involved as it is, and adding unnecessary complexity would severly impact our goals. RC is also part of our family. My boys and I along with my parents attend regular

It is relaxing and fun. Does not cost a lot. You have to have your eyes in it constantly. This is big business. It will kill the hobby. Anes should not be pumped with drones.
I am concerned about my personal safety when flying and to make my information public as well as my personal current location puts model aircraft operators at risk. Also the financial burden on the hobby will all but bring an end to the hobby as we know it.

I have had “my head in the clouds” most of my life , I had always dreamed of being a pilot . I almost actually acheived that through personal pilot training and got as far as several solo flights in a Piper Cherokee. Unfortunately life step in with marrige and 4 kids so I never
These new rules will ruin the hobby and cause loss of business and jobs. We are already starting to see pilots on forums claim the end of the hobby is coming and sales for retailers are in decline due to the impending regulations.
I enjoy flying in my backyard and the national forest around my house after snow storms and at sunrise and sunset. I have 20 acres and all my neighbors know that I fly and they don’t mind. The new regulations wouldn’t permit my flying in and over my own yard. Current geofencing on my DJI
Remote flying was a childhood dream. I spent years saving what money I could make to build my first rc plane. It’s a very special experience for me and I must be allowed to pass it on to my child.
