Thank You Sport , a very interesting article indeed !

It has been my belief from the beginning of this FAA/model plane baloney that the FAA is poised to rake big bucks from the "drone revolution" and they don't want our "toys" getting in the way of their new moneymakers as they zip about the skies . The safety angle is nothing but a smokescreen , just like you say , exactly HOW many full scale deaths have happened from RC VS full scale collisions ? Exactly none ? And it's far more important to regulate us than mandate real safety enhancements , things like recovery chutes for the almost daily GA crashes ?
