Perhaps, instead of the constant blaming of this agency or that agency, we should look at the technology that has driven the changes that caused the FAAto look at it. If it's not LOS as in modeling, what is it; or what potentially is it? Doing what's been done with FPV (NYC, the 11K foot flight, etc) and OSD technologies puts it outside of the intent of recreational modeling (even the serious competition type). Obviously the stuff is selling or it wouldn't be out there. It might be cool, telemetry is one thing, but if it hurts this activity in any way I'm against its use, period.

Interesting, the third tab on the left menu is "FPV Safety"yet one of the videos shows the helicopter flyingright at an individual, looks close too. Dumb and safety don't really mixin my book.
