Hopefully he got a big education and understand how big we are and how we can help the FAA to pass on the word because of the safety record we have. We can help control the problem not become a part of it.

I commend him for attending the expo and doing the Q&A. He didn't have too.
Yes that is the six million dollar question and you are right the FAA rep did not have to attend but I was not at all impressed with most of his answers. The main thing I see is that until the FAA releases some consistent
and clear guidance many including local law enforcement and some clubs will be looking to enforce the guidelines as rules or laws and I will be honest I am not 100% sure they cant be enforced.
