Consider this:

Commercial UAS is/will be a multi billion dollar industry with many positive uses for militiry, government, LEO, agriculture, and many many more.
It will not go away.
Recreational UAS is at best a low 8 figure worldwide and at best a mid 7 figure business in the US
Having said that I would speculate that Horizon, Great Planes and other US distributors are making the largest share of their revenue from FPV/UAS
Without it would these companies be able to develop new products and stay in business?
FPV/UAS is at this time IMHO funding the model aviation industry
Any US FAA ban on FPV/UAS will not effect the rest f the world which will progress in technology AT OUR RISK

You nay sayers are just pis***g in the wind

Lastly when dis it become "American" to throw other model aviation enthusiasts under the bus to protect our toys? Very sad.
