If these people would join the AMA and fly at approved locations this would barely be an issue! But instead every time a story hits the news the FAA steps up the game. Their biggest problem is they blanket the rules and don't seperate the people following the rules from the backyard Cowboys!!!
3 Things 1.) Yes the IDIOT with the Quad has to be educated ... Start by talking to your local Hobby shop that sell this stuff and get the manufactures to include warnings. 2.) most people (AMA Club Members) that don't do Quads/FPV ect don't want them in their clubs.They barely tolerate Helie-o-copeters or any thing they don't do. 3. What makes U think anyone woud want to pay $58 + $75 / year AMA and Club dues to be ridiculed by a bunch of old "FARTS" that think because it's always been that way, their way is always better.
Half these O'L "FARTS" Don't like Women and Kids around the field because thay have to watch their language, And they don't like it that kids fly better than they do.
