Some of the jets out there are amazing. I would never trust my self at the sticks with that much money in the air. I hate to add a serious note to this but I think the FAA likes them. They actually like just about anything that flies. It keeps them in business. They just care about having a bit of order to it…

So this is were I currently like how the FAA handles airspace. They have set up areas that you are able to fly and not fly. Generally the not fly areas are there for a reason and tend to make sense. So I do understand that we need some rules, but I think the best way I can address your question is with the answer…

You are very right. There are a lot of what if's and living by "what if" is a crappy way to live because we all end up doing nothing. But stepping out side of your bubble is a whole different item than not taking responsibility for your actions. Sadly we generally end up with many of these stupid rules because…

I agree but now lets put a gopro on the front. Because of this the CG is moved forward and the pilot will either account for it with balancing weight making the craft heavier, or be a bit nose heavy. Bot situations provide for a faster moving craft to maintain lift. Also not instead of a soft front to absorb impact…

From my understanding the FAA is trying to prevent an accident. I would view it as saying speeding should not be illegal if no one gets hurt.

:) Lets test it. YOu stand in the field and we will hit you with one at speed and see how you feel. Just joking actually.

Thank you. Most of this comes from my worry of losing something that I enjoy doing because people not wanting to take the time to understand their actions and possible outcomes.

SO I am not the best at math but will try to figure this out. Lets find the impact force of a gopro moving at 20 mph?

Except that this is not just about other aircraft. This is about everything in the over all picture. Property, people, etc...... Flying over a city with out a spotter can have large consequences. If the pilot lost video signal to the plane there would be very little he could do at that point. There is a much…

Flying RC is a blast and I highly recommend it to anyone. Personally I enjoy larger gliders. For me it is my meditation. Look up your local flying club and go out an join them for a day. Just be warned it is addictive. My daughter and I are getting into making planing out of foam board. Most of the crash so far…

My only hope for all of this is that we address the issues now, before there is an issue. I worry that if we wait till that moment the outcome will not be pleasant for those who enjoy to fly RC or other unregulated aircraft.

You should do a little research on FAA airspace regulations. Mostly take a look at airspace classified as G and E. I am not a fan of not answering question and just leaving holes so here is a few links to help you understand US airspace and what areas are free to be used by just about anyone and what areas are not.

When you said going retro for me this is the first that came to mind. Maybe because I im in love with it. May I introduce the Cessna 195. Built as a company plane for execs to fly out and land on small on site runways. Because everyone will have a run way in the future. :)

Many people look at these little planes and just dont understand how much damage they can do. Even a foam glider can pack a punch.

This is a point that many people are missing. People are controlling crafts. Small or larger doesn't matter. In the air it all plays a part and in the air we all have the same consequences. This is why part of learning how to do anything is also learning about any rules, regulations, penalties, etc. It is part of…

So i think it is safe to say that this is overlooking many areas of what is going on. One thing to point out is that the AMA already has rules (yes they are voluntary) but they lay out guidelines for safe practice. These are in place for both the operator of the craft (plane, quad, what not....) and other people…

I am using this as a reason to need a car over 10,000lbs. :)

Yes I think he might of been overcompensating from the start :)

Passengers are not there to see, they are there to be seen.

The "Look Ma No Hook" on the front is amazing.
