My cost of flying just went down. I don't have to subsidize all those name guys anymore with increased product cost. |

(3) UAS used as model aircraft. With respect to UAS used as model aircraft, the FAA reiterated the operating guidelines in AC 91-57, and further noted that to qualify as a model aircraft, the aircraft would need to be operated purely for recreational or hobby purposes, and within the visual line of sight of the operator.
UAS fall within the statutory and regulatory definition of “aircraft†as they are devices that are “used or [are] intended to be used for flight in the air with no onboard pilot.†The only ZERO flight hour certificate in the world. It's like getting a driver's license without the driver's test. |

Those of you flying FPV and are questioning this position of the FAA, are missing a big point. According to the AMA, you should have been flying with a spotter, that made sure the aircraft was within line of sight, since the AMA published their updated Safety Code a long time ago. If you have not been using a spotter, you were not covered by the AMA insurance. Now, if you are not following the AMA rules to begin with, why are you suddenly worried about the FAA? |

FAA Involvement due to idiots Here is the problem. I fly Helis and Multirotors. I've been flying since the 80's and was an early adopter of multirotors. "Way back when" there was a time that you had to find a mentor to help you learn to fly, or you found an areas where you could practice and crash all by yourself.The Multirotor changed all of that. Suddenly, there was an R/C Aircraft that could be flown by a rank amateur. People came out of the woodwork to buy and fly these amazing machines. Then someone put a camera on one. Now the whole scene changed. People became "Film-makers" and used the Multis as a camera platform. Then they started to fly them over houses, crowds, gatherings etc. Then they began to crash them into buildings, crowds, houses etc. In other words, people who had NO EXPERIENCE, didn't know the AMA from a hole in the ground, (which they often made themselves) couldn't fly their model back to themselves without course lock or home lock or failsafe, were in the air.Of course the press got wind of this and began the "DRONE" scare. "They're going to look in your bedroom window!", "NO ONE IS SAFE!!!"Companies like Amazon and Pizza companies used Multirotors in an absurd advertising campaign about delivering packages and pizza with "drones" (aka multirotors). The Public (which is dumber than the government) bought this hook line and Naza. No one mentioned the 15 minute run time on a 5000 pack (with NO LOAD). So deliveries are in a half block area?The government isn't concerned with finding out the truth about multirotors, all they care about is that someone isn't cutting in on their turf, so FAA decided that new regulations need to be proposed because the R/C hobby has a fair amount of idiots participating.Maybe the industry needs to limit the sales of R/C aircraft to AMA members only. It wouldn't stop the morons, but at least they would have to comply with joining the association, and maybe, just MAYBE, they would be a little more intelligent in the way they operate.Pandora's box is open and no one can close it. The only thing you can do is try to educate the uneducable and hope that we're not banned outright. (although I can forsee a 'TAX" being imposed to gain clearance to fly). |

Pass more laws so the idiots can't act like idiots, . . . instead of holding the idiots directly responsible for their idiocy.When you try to make something idiot proof, all you get is a smarter idiot. |

It's the same 'ole story.
