Ashamed to admit to this, but I was one of the many impacted by the Opiod Epidemic in Vermont. To be short, I had ACL reconstruction on my knee that failed and wound up hooked on the pain medicine as it was my only relief. I got into a program which helped save my life,

I entered the hobby eight years ago with my grandson. We joined the local club and AMA and were helped with knowledge and training to fly by club members. Since then my grandson has lost interest in flying model aircraft, but I have become very involved in the hobby including becoming Secretary of my club,

I am not a person that expresses myself very well. But Aviation has been part of my entire life. (And it is not because I’ve ever had a mentor. I learned most of what I know from seeking it out.) And what is really weird is that when I get a chance to fly, I

While I can sympathize with the FAA’s need to keep long range UAS from flying where they shouldn’t for public safety, there is no need to punish the entire community with overly broad and restrictive regulations. Anytime my MultiGP club (FPV drone racing – https://www.multigp.com/) meets for either practice or an event, we set up

The hobby of radio controlled aircraft has been a staple in my life since I was 12 years old. It’s been a tremendous father son bonding activity I’ve shared with my Dad for the last 34 years. It’s one that I hope to continue to share with my children for years to come. It’s this

I’ve always loved flight of all kinds. Built model aircraft as a kid with my father. I have been in and out of the hobby, as time and interest, allows for 50 years. As I near retirement age, I look forward to getting more heavily involved. Now the FAA wants to add to the complexity

Most of my fleet is under 110 grams. I never fly around people. All of these proposed laws make it imposible to fly legally. The media and the FAA falsely site safety concerns with no risk assessment !
My personal flight experiance has been limited to personally owned micro helicopters and drones that freinds and family owned. I’ve wanted to expand my experiance in the RC flight hobby but cost and available fields in my area are few and far between. Park fliers could be an option for me at one place. However
