I build and fly my own multi-rotors with friends, family and at STEM programs at schools. The proposed regulations don’t provide any option to comply by adding remote ID to my existing builds or new builds. I can’t even fly over my own property. Asking people who build their own multi-rotors to register and pay

When I was much younger, I didn’t have any friends. I would start sports, like soccer and lacrosse, but I wouldn’t find any joy in it. The kids on the teams would only care about sports and getting sponsors, which wasn’t what I was in for. After some time I heard of Flighttest, RotorRiots, and
RC flying is the only affordable option to accommodate my life long aviation passion.
I’m a amateur fpv pilot and I love my craft, building drones has taught me many stem skills and has helped me get better at engineering. I also film fpv footage and I would hate it if I couldn’t go anywhere but my house and some small areas designated for flight.

I am currently buying pieces to build a quadcopter. I enjoy tinkering and the hobby is attractive to me. When the quad is completed I intend to learn to fly it in my back yard. The idea of filming my flight to inspect my house roof and chimney is very useful because I am getting

First of, I am not from the US but a small European country called Denmark. The reason why I am concerned is that the american ruling often gets picked up by Europe a few years later. I have been flying real (full scale) gliders for 35 years and had my pilots license since 1989. I
I am an ardent supporter of emergent technologies as well as the necessary laws and regulations required to both preserve individual and public safety and ensure the legacy of private and commercial development. While I recognize some of the positive intentions of newly proposed legislation, which include goals to map American airspace for the deployment

Placing sensors on aircraft is going to restrict people from flying. The “good” or “compliant” persons will buy an ID device and use it properly. The “bad” or non-compliant persons willnotbuy it and get away with flying in bad places and do things they shouldn’t do. Police will not catch them because they don’t have
