    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    From my full scale pilot standpoint a traditional model can interfere with manned traffic also. It has happened. We are all flying in the NAS no matter if we are flying FPV or non FPV

    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    I have to ask but do you think you can make out a small quad copter going that fast on approach? When I am flying in a 182 and I go by a bird I have to think twice of what I saw.... It's mostly a blur. Not saying it doesn't happen but many of the reports are not real I believe.

    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    At the same time I lost my home flying field a few years ago due to lack of members... We had over 25 members but still couldn't afford to keep going due to how much rent was at our field. It was a fantastic spot. I feel if we deny memberships people might regret it later on as the older guys...

    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    I am open to new technology in our industry. Its funny you mention to quad guys it's their fault they will quickly pull up a YouTube video of us traditional modelers doing something stupid.... That is why I say we need to work together on this task. I just see both sides of the story. Actually...

    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    I don't agree with banning FPV flight or uav flight at AMA fields....I go out and fly both my giant scale planes and FPV UAV planes all the time.... People have also been flying FPV at flying sites for a long time without any issues. To me that is being a fog not allowing a certain type of...

    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    The FAA sees us as an aircraft flying in the NAS. As our hobby grows and more people do it we will have the same problem even if we were seperated now.... Again take my advice call the FAA and let their phones ring voicing your opinions in an intelligent way! Let them hear your story. They are...

    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    Personally if the AMA seperates it now it will make the AMA look bad in the FAAs eyes and they will just make us register anyway. I would be careful.... Many of those complaining should have contacted the FAA and AMA years ago but you waited till this happened. At this point you need to...

    Will this get me banned elsewhere?

    Lighting system..which one?

    Never had RC flite lights but I don't like the fact you can't run a 2 cell lipo unless you run a regulator. I have a set of the other companies lights but make sure you check the solder connections near the lights as I have had a few come loose.

    Hobby Day at Barnes and Noble

    I also put together a YouTube playlist so they could watch. I wish my sim remote wasn't broke or I would have had the sim up and running!

    Hobby Day at Barnes and Noble

    The store had its on micro quad they let me fly around indoors. I wanna bet the store sold a lot of them because a lot of customers asked me where they were in the store. I wanted to fly my own stuff outside but the store is close to an airport.

    Hobby Day at Barnes and Noble

    Barnes and Noble contacted me to support their local hobby day. Of course I said yes. Everyone really enjoyed it. Trying my best to inform the public how cool these things are and don't listen to what the media has to say!
