A couple percent of traditional RC people would (unfortunately) be affected but basically ALL of the "FPV" drones could have then been regulated without dragging traditional RC into it.

This could have created the space we needed to distance ourselves from this drone regulation. Of course, in that scenario, your GoPro thing would have been illegal (I do that too and would have to stop) but it would have been a small price to pay to stay out of this drone mess.

Huge mistake by the AMA, opportunity missed
Got a better idea BAN all U people that think they are the only ones that should be allowed to fly only what U fly. Gimmie a break go back to your CL. Modt are too Old to appreciate anything new also.
Now that might get a few riled. go for it.
