For the Love of Radio Controlled Aircraft in the US, New Rules Possible.

<< < (18/30) > >>

Hello there Mr. Namecaller!

If you'd put on your reading glasses, you'd see quite clearly that I am not advocating for anything - I am simply pointing out that the regulation does not matter when half the population ignores it!
 
"Outside of the five "cousins" nations, mentioning potential use of a firearm on the net gets you hauled off to jail. " -> You are legitamately trolling with this comment, there are entire forums dedicated to discussing shooting on the internet.  Get back under your bridge!

Bottom line, you can expect this regulation to move forward with little logic or reason behind it, just like last time, half the country will ignore it, chaos will ensue, it will be modified in some way to appease a few of the larger groups of complainers, and meanwhile "out in the country" people will be doing whatever they want  :-DD

Also ignored in the Regs and Techno waffle (at least in the bit you posted) is that large slabs of the Middle of the USA and even some of the less densely populated areas and if heaven forbid it arrives in Oz we simply don't have Mobile Reception so unless the proposed big brother system want to include Musk Link  :horse: for free you can't fly.

I only have to go 20-30km from here and there is large chunks of land with zero 3 or 4G coverage and I am in a fairly well populated Rural/urban coastal area.

As you say it is linked to a motor lockout but I guess that could be any channel without to much issue.

Read about the cellular tower vandalism occuring in some areas in the USA.  This 5G thing has certain groups going off their rockers and it would appear that some are assuming that any cell tower is a 5G tower.  Many of the rural areas that *do* have cell service are served by a single tower!  These go down after thunderstorms, snow storms, when 5G vandals in foil hats strike... 

These FAA regulations are meaningless and only people in the cities are going to obey them, and even that is questionable given the amount of crime in every major city.  Freaking out over news like this just isn't worth it, there are so many federal laws in the USA that every American is said to commit at least 3 serious crimes per day without even realizing it.  Read the book, "3 felonies a day", this is modern reality  :-DD

beanflying:
Seriously get off the 'we will ignore the law and do what we like in the country'  :bullshit: if you don't want to seriously engage in the subject take your noise and self amusement elsewhere. Breaching FAA regulations potentially kills humans in full sized aviation when UAV fliers break them this is not something to joke about. This is in part why the model section has existed in relative harmony with full sized for so long until the cheap toys arrived in the last few years.

Do you actually fly R/C or own a drone?

angrybird:
Ok you are still missing the point.  People flying drones over their property and R/C aircraft in all the places they've been flying them since the advent of this hobby isn't going to kill anyone.  It isn't a danger and never has been.  I am not advocating for any danger here.  If you fly your plan over my property when I'm flying my R/C helicopter over my property, that is your problem, not mine.

This is just bureaucrats doing what bureaucrats do - They try to justify their jobs by continually churning out regulations.  People in the enforcement zones (i.e. metropolitan areas, around airports, etc) will be subject to them.  People in the country will do what they have always done no matter what the outcome, this is a universal truth and there is nothing you can do about it.  Life goes on.

And yes, I have a few R/C helicopter, a 30 size nitro that terrifies me and various electric models. I had a few planes a long time ago but the helis are so much more fun.  They are just periodic entertainment nowadays, and I'll keep flying them as I always have no matter what happens with these rules, just like everyone else  :-+
