It was the right decision. Whether you are a fan of FPV or not, it is here to stay. So AMA can develop a program for it and a set of safety regulations to push, or it can completely lose control of that segment of the hobby by throwing it under the bus for the FAA to over regulate. I don't fly FPV, but I think it's a neat new thing to get into. I want people to be able to do it within reasonable safety limits. And yes, I think that if those limits are developed that most FPV flyers will abide by them. It's not so hard to get traditional modelers to abide by common sense safety regulations, so I don't see why it would be so hard to get the FPV crowd to also.
