For me, the RC hobby has been a way to relax and to bond with other like minded individuals. At our field, we have not broken any rules and are always very conscious of safety. It seems that more restrictions would create undue stress on those of us who follow the current rules.
I have contruct a foam board electric airplane now! A young age dream! I suppose it will have to be on the ground if these rules go forward! Very sad!

Flying, gives me a breathing space, from being a family dad, home renovation and work. I can’t see my self being able to have a relaxing time from a stressful day, if I have to drive an hour to get to the nearest flying field.
### My 81 year old Dad and I have a connection and a relationship deepened by time in the workshop, and time out of doors experiencing the flight of our craft built by our own hands. We both have had very intense, sometimes stressful occupations. Dad as a project manager, me as a cardiovascular ICU

Flying runs very deep in my family. My grandfather brought me into aviation from very young. My first plane ride (still in diapers) I apparently would not leave the window in awe. My grandfather was an engineer for Lockheed and Hycon cameras and was one of the engineers that designed the cameras for the U2,

I have been involved with RC fro over 40 years. Prior to that I had balsa and spruce, gliders, rubber band propeller models that were sold at many stores, etc. I watch Neil Armstrong step onto the moon for the first time and I was hooked on flight. All aspects of it. I built my
I fly drones for the experience of flight. I’m not a rich person, taking flight lessons is way too costly. Cruising through the air in FPV, is the closest I can get to it at a cost I can afford. Just barely I might add. The negative press in the news and social media about

I have always been interested in flying model aircraft and thanks to ready made planes and modern technology the hobby is very inexpensive. The joy and satisfaction that is derived from assembling a foam aircraft and flying is enormous. The concentration that is required to fly an rc plane is just like any other hobby
