Sadly, not always. Hence the problem, the ones that always have to push the limit.
It is sad but its true and there will be some who not only give our hobby a bad name but the club's flying field too. In the past years we have lost flying fields for many reasons and i dont want to loose any because bad drones pilots are using them for their home base. joe
You guys have finally convinced me...The FPV guys are inherently more likely to push the limit and are probably going to cause us to lose our flying sites... Down with FPV...them guys are devils!

Now let's start working on those heli pilots and giant scale idiots... We can do it if we just stick together... maybe one day we can get all RC models eradicated as well...
You're always good for a laugh I'll give you that.

My point is simply this. Flying BVR is bad for the hobby. It blurs the line between commercial drone operations, and hobby use. Its fuel for the folks that want to lump all of us into the drone category.

As for the rest of that diatribe, please, give me a break, I'm the VP of a club that is a model for club diverstity; heli pilots, giant scale, glider towing, high starts, we do it all and for the most part have fun and get along while doing it.
