we need to be looking at who is flying whatever type of craft in an unsafe manner. So far IMO most of the the new proposed rules the FAA has come
up with will do nothing to increase safety for anyone.
Agree, and those that advocate banning multi-rotors are pis**ng in the wind. FOLLOW THE MONEY. Who is in the commercial/government/military sUAS market? Boeing, Northrup, General Dynamics, Textron ................. multi billion dollar corporations with high paid "K" Street lobbyists and big dollar campaign contributions. Billions of revenue at risk.
If push comes to shove it will be model aviation that will take the hit. ...................... the bad publicity from the "hey look at my cool video" FPV morons are all noticed by these companies.
The AMA cannot control the activities of idiots never had and never will.,
