This is a very creative hobby and it attracts dynamic people. This hobby has been the gateway for many who have gone into aviation, engineering and the space program. It is essential for cultivating inventors and growing the next generation of people who will build great things in America. This is why the FAA is proposing new rules to shut down decades of the aero modeling hobby as we know it. The socialist beast does not want anyone to be exceptional and to excel.

Sadly, true. As a kid in the 70's I had a great time flying R/C powered and unpowered aircraft. R/C gliders are a blast to fly when you hit a thermal and ride it up, up, up!

FedGov is on a mission to squeeze the last drops of joy out of living. Give it a few more years. They'll have our activities so regulated, smiling will be a crime.

“They’ll have our activities so regulated, smiling will be a crime.”

In Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, walking around in public with a smirk was deemed “facecrime” by the Thought Police.

In a police state there are two kinds of people: those looking down the barrel of a pistol aimed at them, and those aiming the pistol.

In a police state there is never a shortage of volunteers to be on the aiming end of the pistol.

We are Americans, and the exceptional will still overcome the beast.
