Their biggest problem is they blanket the rules and don't seperate the people following the rules from the backyard Cowboys!!!
Extremely well said.
I've been an AMA member since 1974 and have never seen such wreck-less flying as Ive seen over the past few years with multirotors and FPVs. It simply affirms once again that Darwin was right,
I just hope officials simply don't bother with long standing flying clubs and focus their attention elsewhere.
