If you want focus on FPV, then you have the FPV Freedom Coalition. It'll be interesting to watch as "the market", aka all of us, gravitates toward the one that is more focused on meeting the needs of its constituents.

Hurray for Flight Test. FPVFC however, give me a break. They are an illegal FPV advocate. An insight into how FPVFC may have come into FAA's good graces, president and CEO Dave Messina boasted about using (wasting) FPVFC donations to help the FAA implement gender neutral pronouns throughout the agency.
