Now to address the testing deal, it is an interesting thought. However, the AMA does have "special" waivers for people who enjoy turbine aircraft, or aircraft that are over 55lbs. Which in both aspects require a proud bank account. But these special circumstances do not separate normal size or power system craft from the high-speed jets or massive 55lb+ aircraft. Some clubs required you to earn your "wings" before you can fly solo, demonstrating that you can control the aircraft ......So who knows, certification may just help make everything safer. Then, there would be a need for a team of certifiers, preferable people who actually fly (within the past 6 months) and enjoy the hobby. Then their is the need for a team of enforcers, preferable that they do not care about the hobby and don't have buddies in the hobby.

So now that we have the pilots "safe", it is now time to focus on the electronics, power systems, and airframes need to be certified and tested.

Do you see where this is going?.......
