Thats my whole point...
The more public our hobby becomes the more people want to do it. The more automated it becomes the higher the chance of lazy, stupid, or irresponsible people not using the tech as intended. Early pioneers of any tech learn it, advance it, and respect it after the work they went thru to do what they intended. After that comes the people who want to profiteer off those original people who worked out most of the kinks.
The silly humanz now days dont work for anything, they want it handed to them and for the most part have never learned nor had to be responsible for what they do. I spent somewhere between 8 to 12 months researching the new tech before I even decided to attempt to fly or build a multi rotor. Look around on these forums. How many posts do you see where someone has gone out and bought all kinds of gear and not know the first thing about it asking us to tell them what to do because of unethical advertising and sales or something the saw in the shill videos. Thus we are at the point we are now, the more automated it becomes the more people want to use it the more a government will be forced to take it away because of the stupid ones.
Its a vicious circle. Specially when you add in corrupt politicians and corporate interests.. We have already lost before we knew there was even a battle for our hobbys survival. So basically any advancements going forward only benefits corporations and governments. Corporations will mass produce unsafe junk as they have already or have silly ideas like drone delivery... and governments are already rubbing their greedy paws over revenue with licencing, registration fees and soon mandatory testing and the ultimate goal of yet another specialized insurance by the people who really manage the world to suck even more money out of the working class pockets to perpetuate the cancer that is government. Oh yeah dont forget the telecoms take of the skim soon to be tacked on.
I admire you as a teacher as the aviation industry always needs new blood and new ideas to keep advancing. I love the hobby and like helping or teaching people who actually want to learn. That is why I spend so much time here but in the end its a losing battle for the "flying" rc community with more and more of the people NOT willing to learn only wanting the quickest way to flight with the least amount of effort so they can do stupid things that in their mind is cool or fun.
