FLY LOW
I posted this out on FB (Protecting Our Rights for FPV), which is kind of misleading because flying isn't a right but I get it. I wanted to get you (Flitetest) opinion.
{I think we need a face, a spokesperson for the movement to protect out rights to fly. Long standing battles historically have an identity tied to them, Charlton Heston for the NRA, Martin Luther King for civil rights and so on. They were the go to person, the face of their cause when the media came knocking. They were knowledgable and well verse on their cause and beliefs and respected by those that shared the common interest. This is a real dilemma that we are facing. The glanced over fine print has verbiage in these laws that could shut down our "remotely controlled unmanned craft" hobby. You get the media to do what they do best, fabricate a problem and instill fear and this really has the potential to shut us down, not just FPV. I'm not sure where this hobby falls in your nomenclature of life but it ranks pretty damn high for me. So, who is this masked man? Well, I don't know. Head of the AMA? Who do you think? If we sit idle, the media driven fear on a Hollywood scale will force people into and uneducated decision or vote.}
