I fly mostly Backyard and ball park size planes. I used to fly 1/2A gas planes but the electrics have just gotten so much better that I don’t anymore. I ALWAYS fly with consideration of others in mind. It is on me to be a good neighbor when flying in any space other than my

I’ve loved flying drones and home built small aircraft. Finding places to fly is challenging enough already – if it were more restricted, I might have to give up the hobby or only fly a few times a year when I can travel to approved areas. Given the dramatic expansion of the hobby in recent

I studied for and passed the FAA test to be a remote pilot of a small unmanned aircraft system. This test required vast of knowledge of regulations, safety, weather, and airport restrictions. It wasn’t easy to pass, nor was it inexpensive. I enjoy flying drones over forest service, state land, wildlife management areas, and conservancy

I’ve been flying and building remote control aircraft since 1983. Most recently, my flying locations are close to my home in Portland, Oregon. Due to my work schedule, I haven’t joined any local club, besides the only one I know of is too far to use. My flying would be severely burdened if Remote ID

Flying matters to me because it’s my opportunity to create aircraft from basic materials and see the results of my effort first-hand. It’s been a recreational outlet for me that has expanded my skillsets in a number of areas including engineering, math, and coordination. As such, I take the responsibility seriously, as anyone who has

Been a responsible modeler/flyer for about 60 years. New technoligy has let many undesireable people into the hobby as long as they have the money to burn. So many heli, drone, or fixwing aircraft are available that really require no skill to operate Add that to lack of common sence of these operators (not pilots)

I have been in the radio control hobby for 30 years. Started with cars and boats. About 6 years ago tried electric helicopters. Then I built a 650mm quad for areial photography, purely recreational, sunsets nature etc. Then the FPV drones started and I jumped in. I have two drones I built from the frames

Enjoyed since I was a kid and with new aircraft and technology being designed, I would really like to see where it goes.

Being brand new to the fpv hobby is amazing because of the ability to design and craft your own quad drone is fascinating. This hobby allows me to practice my education background as engineer in testing and processing that then improves my skills further. By increasing regulations and the additional requirements to raising the price
