As a father of a special needs child, my son enjoys watching our model planes fly, which is a special bond. I feel like I am flying when I see the look on his face and how happy he gets when we share this time together. A small Air Hog helicopter received as a gift,

##### I’m very new to the hobby.

They’ve seen their uncle who was a navy test pilot transition from an active pilot to the drone industry (insitsu a division of Boeing). They create plans out of foam board and test different ideas.

I’m a senior undergrad student at the University of North Texas. I fear that added restrictions will bring unnecessary burdens, of all sorts, to the effectiveness of university students seeking to be innovative with flight and aerospace.

I love to fly fixed wing models. I have been flying since 1978. Had a great teacher that not only taught me to fly but stressed safety and respect for other flyers. Now the FAA is turning a great hobby into something that people will walk away from or never get involved in.
