There seems to be this mis-perception that the sky is falling and that I'm trying to discourage everyone from flying their jets. That is not at all the case. I personally have absolutely no issue flying under the FAA safety guidelines I have agreed to observe, and I fail to understand why others can't just deal with them as well. What I don't want, is people endangering the hobby for the rest of us by openly challenging the FAA and / or giving the impression that we are signing the certification with intent to mislead. I would hate to think that the FAA is seeing some of the ridiculous responses in this thread, because it would give them all the ammo they need to further tighten the noose.
As to how I'm viewed personally, I really don't care. If I feel others are advancing ideas or behaviors that put the aeromodeling hobby at risk, then I will respond and challenge. If there are bloody noses and hurt feelings along the way, then so be it.
