Mr. Gibson says “Please don’t jeopardize our hobby”. Is he saying that the FAA is planning to shut down model aviation (after 80 years of successful operation)? I think that there would be a huge number of very angry citizens if that were to happen. Also, we inventors and experimenters would probably bring civil suits based on the loss of the opportunity to experiment with new aviation technologies. I would advise the FAA to avoid such an unproductive approach to regulations. There is nothing to be gained from such a frontal assault on decent citizens (especially since Congress already voted against regulating model aircraft).
