Hey init4fun!

I agree (to an extent). And unfortunately I think there's a very good chance there's going to be an accident eventually, new regulations or not. I've personally heard an urgent PIREP in an area that I thought would be far removed from any threat. Turns out it wasn't the first, either.

What I'm hoping will happen now that the regs are in place (and rest assured, Canada will follow ) is that the ones actually causing the problems will be properly persecuted. I doubt that someone flying through an ILS glide path is going to have registered their craft, but hey, at least there's some ground rules in place to persecute them on an individual basis and with some clearer federal laws.

I see it similar to the gun control debate. Obviously with so many FPV ready multirotors or fixed wing machines out there, and the ease as which you can get such a system airborne, banning the object outright isn't going to work, and really just opens the door to more cases of AMA club fliers or balsa bashers to get unfairly targeted.
