@ Franklin:

I expect you're familiar with Fifth Amendment provisions regarding the taking of private property for public use without compensation. I think a case could be made that forcing private property owners to admit members of the general public on their land for the purpose of gaining access to a FRIA amounts to such a "taking".

Furthermore, doing away with FRIAs forces the retirement of all the equipment of 200,000 hobbyists. That's a "taking" as well. Forcing the closure of small manufacturers and retailers who manufacture and sell ARF and BNF models is also a "taking". Maybe the FAA needs to calculate the costs of paying compensation to all these owners, manufacturers, and retailers?

"Cui bono?" You asked in other threads. Who benefits if you get your way? Who benefits if there are no FRIAs and the only legally available model aircraft are ready-to-fly UAS "systems" and "UAS kits" which must be sold with transmitters?

Who benefits -- besides the Chinese?
