The bottom line is: You play, you pay. You want to fly r/c? Fly by the rules, use common sense, be responsible. Obviously not too many individuals are going to care until it's their friend's or own family's house that burns down because some jackass miles away crashed a FPV drone into their roof and the battery/ESC fire caused the house to go up in flames.

Another issue besides the mentality that "I can do whatever I want" is, so many individuals don't even have the brains God gave a mule. I've had individuals come up to me while I'm in my driveway running the nitro O.S. Max .65 ax with tuned pipe in my Kougar and they ask me if I can fly it so they can see. Yeah, right down the residential street! ***! It's like if one of you guys were test spooling up one of your turbines in your driveway and some knucklehead comes up and asks you to fly it right off the residential street and over the neighborhood. I make one attempt to help them understand the risks but they always say stupid s$%t like "I saw a guy fly a drone the other day, so why not your plane?". Yep, they don't have the brains God gave a mule.
