Sporty what u fail to realize that Privatizations of the ATC system will be the end of General Aviation and Any "DRONE" R/C model flying. User Fees will be the death knell of all but military and commercial air travel.

a club would only need one on a pole to keep full scale air craft away from any Designated Flying field. It could be made to look like a hovering Helio and deter full Scale aircraft to keep at least 1/4 mile away maybe even 2000' horizontally or 1000' above the highest object with in the 2000'
