They are no longer” just model aircraft” they are missiles with very considerable energy. Remember the drone issue and the regulations which followed .
I think it an entirely reasonable question to ask in a changing world, totally undeserving of some of the replies posted above.
Maybe you should of started off with the question like this one.
Singling out an individual, even indirectly, really didn't start the thread off well and the initial post was more of a thought than a question. It's no surprise it devolved into what it has become.
