I have been very interested in RC aircraft since I got my ham (amateur radio) license 25 years ago. I was fascinated by the great planes and stunts that I saw demonstrated at various events. However, the cost of entry was completely unattainable for me. I still enjoyed watching the pilots and dreaming about a

My main concern is that new regulations would discourage new club members and in turn cause a negative impact on the economic health of the industry that supplies (supports) the sport. It may be just a hobby but it is often the gateway for future pilots, etc.

Further these restrictions should fall on the major companies trying to implement UAS platforms in commercial use such

I have been building , flying and enjoying R/C model aircraft for the last 48 years . This hobby has become a part of who I am. The FAA proposals trouble me deeply. I can understand need for remote ID for any aircraft flying beyond line of sight , but for our models flown within
