and flies it into the landing pattern of LAX is horrifying to those of us in the model aviation community and agree that some regulations to prevent this needs to
be applied to drones. Model airplanes are not drones and we are not the problem, never have been and never will be.
I joined The EAA to show my gratitude for the recent support of Model Aviation. The ridiculous regulations and the fact that the FAA has lumped traditional
model aircraft in to the drone category will effectively erase the hobby. Again, THANK YOU EAA for your support. We need all the help we can get and
who knows, maybe I build something I can sit in and fly around the cow patch....if that's OK with the FAA.
