I am a private pilot and fly my own built 5″ and 3″ quads to fly FPV at the local park and in my house only. I agree all flights should be below 400′. All larger drones flying above 400 should absolutely be regulated, no night time, no flying within 5 miles of an airport,

It’s mainly added cost and bureaucracy. I think they are overreacting to small degree. The limitations are bad enough, I could safely fly a drone to within 100-200 feet above my multi-acreage property but if you go by the book, I’m within 2 no-fly zones of local airports. It stinks I can’t even fly a

Because it encompasses everything that we humans enjoy from sports, nature, science/education and nothing else can compare.

I most use this hobby to teach younger people how to build something that will fly, to program flight controllers, and to test your mind skills. Getting young people together to learn more and think more about science. To be interested in learning more, going to further education and innovating. That is what is so

It’s fun and educational.

Hi Flite Test. I discovered you on You Tube last year, I think around the end of spring, beginning of summer. Since them, I have been on a quest to watch every You Tube video you have published and, guess what, I’m almost caught up, LOL! I’ve also been listening to all of your podcasts

Flying for me is a much needed hobby. I can socialize, hone my mechanic and flying skills, as well as my technical skills. Interacting with other like- minded hobbyists allows me to share my knowledge with others and also gain knowledge from others. Flying allows me the feeling of freedom and to be creative at

I’ve been flying safely for over 40 years. Most of that flying is done at club flying fields. I fly fixed wing models that require line of sight. Line of sight flying of model aircraft has carried on safely and without the issues that surfaced with the introduction of drones and other autonomous “flying craft”.

there has been little to no problems with this sport for years and there is little reason to assume there will be any problems in the future. I dont believe the faa has or should have control of all airspace. I would vote to control and limit real airplanes [private and commercial ] before regulating

As a new member of the RC airplane community, I write to you with thanks for taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety of our country as well as making reasonable efforts to preserve a hobby that is dear to innumerable people in our country. My love for the sport developed this past Christmas

I build and fly RC vehicles as my hobby and release from stress of work/life. Nearly 100% of the time I am flying either in my yard or at a local park far from people and never over 100′ in the air. The proposed rule would restrict all of that flying as I understand it.
