I love learning, I enjoy building and modifying planes to understand them. It is a good hobby for spending time with my kids.

There is so much good that comes from this hobby. It is a fantastic way to get kids interested in, and learning about a variety of topics (physics, aeronautics, electronics, etc). The proposed legislation seems aimed at enabling commercial drone development. It is not necessary to completely crush the recreational hobby to enable commercial drones.

I’m fairly young but got into the hobby 4 years ago due to health issues. The freedom FPV flight has given me has been unrivaled. In learning how to build and fly I have acquired new skills, studied new fields of interest and kept up with regulations along the way. I have made friends I

It makes me feel free like there is nothing else in the world. I also teach a stem based program at a local school. It allows kids the chance to think and grow. It keeps them of the streets and out of trouble. It sparks interest in aviation, engineering, and electronics. To loose this hobby

Whilst dealing with pretty severe health problems that keep me from enjoying any physical sport, FPV drones are the only way I can enjoy some adrenaline-filled action in my backyard.

Flying like a bird from the comfort of your chair is kind of hard to beat. You should try it if you haven’t. It would be a real shame if the hobby was destroyed in its relative infancy just to assuage the drastically exaggerated fears of small autonomous flight. Even worse, doing so will not

Retired aviation professional. Aircraft Sales and CFI. I understand the safety concerns to real aircraft. But the real solution is education and community oversight from local clubs and AMA for drones. Model aircraft are flown by responsible citizens and primarily older generations. Drones are primarily flown by younger generations that demands instant gratification. Involve communities

Flying matter to me because after a long day of work or work week I look forward to flying on the weekends because it gets me away from the world shits my mind off from reality let’s me be free if you will. The feeling I get from knowing I built this and now look

My planes/drones consist of foam, Maybe wood ,soft metals like aluminium, hard metals like steel, screws, nuts, bolts, plastic, electronics and a motor. Why would this be regulated??? I cause do danger to anybody, i educate myself, Get an understanding of aerodynamics, etc. What I do Will in some way improve the world. I am

Most, nearly all, equipment are toys with no impact to other aircraft or public safety in any way.
