I agree 100% that well written letters that calmly & rationally explain how "traditional" LOS RC flight is not "the problem" they are trying to solve with regulation are our best defense on a personal level , but I really think their should be more media coverage of how yet another American hobby is being regulated out of business * . I hear exactly nothing about any of this except how the FAA is enacting new "drone" regulation without one mention of the existing hobby that's being squeezed between the Drones & the FAA on my nightly news at 6:00 . And our AMA really needed to further blur that line , just so a few pollyanas could be able to come to the forums & sing Kumbaya , we'll all so politically correct & inclusive ? This is nothing against multirotors , BTW , when flown LOS they are just the same as any other model aircraft and should be included in our organization , it's the RC craft of any configuration that carries the ability to fly BLOS that is "the problem" , the "flying camera" and "flying robot" being principally the two types of craft that are long overdue of being separated out of our hobby and into a hobby classification all their own .

* At what point of mandatory , costly airworthiness inspections are the small manufacturers just gonna up & decide there is no more profitability in marketing model airplanes any longer , when this latest regulatory punch to the head begins to be felt ?
