I tend to agree. I have been in RC for 36 years and full scale flying for 33.

I am Australian and live in Sydney but my job requires a USA ATP as our aircraft is N registered and flies internationally.

Professional pilots should be held to a higher standard than others. I have no issue with this.

I have just completed a build on a beautiful quad with gimbal and GoPro and spent the last three weekends driving around Sydney looking for a place to film some of our spectacular scenery..

There were many locations that I could have legally flown but when assessing the safety of others in the area common sense stopped me from flying.

Those with aviation experience should set an example for the safe operation of model aircraft and the same applies for any experienced RC pilot.
