Relaxing to build and fun to fly

I fly fpv quadcopters and it’s a type of art form in my eyes. Each pilot has their own technique on how they fly, and its expressed through flying.

It’s relaxing, fun, entertaining. Gives me something to look forward to and helps keep young people entertained and out of trouble and their minds away from drugs.

I am part of a local group that regularly builds RC models, ranging from DiY airplanes cut from foam-plates, wood and carbon to (in most cases) compiled from available parts and then assembled acro and racing drones/quadcopters, which then are most often flown via one the various available fpv systems. Requiring constant line of sigh

I have always wanted to be a commercial pilot, but due to financial concerns the closest thing for flying for me is FPV Drones. Recreational flyers already has the FAA Recreational Flyer’s registration that marks each aircraft with the assigned unique registration number. That alone is enough for the identification. Having new hardware for identification

It’s a hobby, I don’t get out to fly often. When I do get out to fly it’s on a whim. No time to schedule access to an authorized field, just ask the owner of the field for permission to fly. Cost impact on an already expensive hobby.

Flying model planes is the easiest and cheapest way for us to experience the effects of flights and how humans have been able to achieve it. Please don’t make it extra expensive

I enjoy building and flying what I have built. It is a good time with family and friends. It’s a good learning experience about flight. I believe that that the faa did not the effect they will have on the hobby. If this does bill does pass I believe the effect will be very harsh

Living in the year 2020 having stresses of life even more then ever before. Yet the FAA taking away even more rights and ways to enjoy life, nature and what this country is supposed to be about, “Freedom.” Added to that, stifling a means for society to learn, educate and progress in modern technology.

It gives me a chance to exercise my brain in a way otherwise not available, while still being inexpensive.

It really helps me through the low point of my life. I started flying when I also have depression. Flying FPV gives me excitement and really help me carry the pain away.
