Demand that all people that want to fly an RC aircraft register for a test, take the test, and be licensed for it (like driving a car or a full scale pilots license)
If someone really want to fly then they will have to take the time to become intimate with the hobby, just as you did back in the 70's and 80's before all the mind numbing technology became available.
I am 100% in favor of having to take a test and obtain a license to be able to fly, as it will get rid of all the idiots !
Ya I know the implications that it will have on the hobby, but it is pretty much the only way to do it
Have a good day
Half the guys flying for the last 30 years would be grounded. How many guys in your club can't even hit the runway half the time or the big one Make right hand turns into them selves. also Who's going to administer these tests and what sill it cost to get a certificate to fly a toy airplane.
