I recently took up the hobby to teach my children design and building techniques. I believe that these fields are the key to a career in the near future. Model aircraft/ remote control vehicles provides such a diverse range of exposure to engineering and trade challenges in a very low cost format.

##### Flying is educational. Design, build, fly, and learn science and technology along the way. The FAA is misguided in their efforts. FAA, here’s an idea: Require a permit to fly in controlled airspace. Details of the permit can include the FAA’s proposed oversight. Local laws can govern hobby aircraft (toys) in uncontrolled airspace. We,

flying gives me a chance to enjoy going to the field and unwind by flying and watching others fly… to have a little “race” between planes and enjoy the fellowship between the other pilots

It’s how I relax and unwind.

I treat this as a fun recreational hobby where I DO NOT: 1)Fly over private property, roads, power lines, cars, people 2)Fly above 400′ or conduct long range flights over 300 yards away from myself I enjoy the experience of flying drones in acro/air mode in about a 100 yard radius in an empty park

This whole thing is a joke! These rules are being put in place for the one or two people flying their gps drone illeagally! More education is the solution not more rules and guidelines! FAA do not fool your self in thinking it will save money. More government over sight leads to more spending on

It is my hobby. I really enjoy flying. I like to fly gliders but the height limitations are impacting my flying.

It’s something I do for myself. If I can’t fly a real airplane so this is the next best thing.

I must admit that I’m not educated on the details of what the FAA is proposing. But, I do know that more federal regulations is not the answer. I’m a long time RC enthusiast that’s not in a club and I don’t fly at a RC field. I live in the country and fly on

Model aviation (specifically designing, building, and flying FPV drones) brings all of my knowledge experience and interests to a single discipline that allows me to express myself artistically, expand my knowledge set in a practical way, and use both of these
