I'm not sure what you are trying to say?
ALL aspects of RC flying have existed for decades without any problems. Problems aren't the problem, the new laws are. Like them or not and silly as they may seem to us, they are the new reality.
Speed singled himself out by being the only one on this thread that publicly thumbed his nose at the laws. Not a good look for an AMA member to come on a public forum and openly admit to disobeying the law because HE doesn't agree with it. The AMA's whole premise is that we have effectively self-policed our saftey rules for decades by reminding other members when they are not following them. I raised that point here, and Speed essentially told me to shove it, he'll do as he pleases.....now you say it is not fair that speed is singled out for openly breaking the law.......really effective policy, it's no wonder the FAA didn't want to play with the AMA......
