I’ve been a pilot for more than 3 decades: part 135, 121 and now 91 corporate. I grew up on the “bad side” of my home city and attended public schools where many of my classmates spent their youth getting into trouble. I became fascinated with aviation at a very young age and my saving grace was model aviation, getting my first plane (CG Eaglet) at 12. I spent much of my youth from that point on in the basement building planes or at the flying field, where ever that happened to be - mostly behind a rural school. I’m confident this is what kept me out of trouble and led me to an amazing career. It’s very sad to see what’s been done to our hobby.

I’m a commercial pilot, but I haven’t flown in a few years due to an illness. I love flying little RC planes especially WWII replicas and EDF jets. Almost none of them are over 250g and I typically only fly around treetop to maybe 20 feet above treetop level. A few years ago it was a rule that you had to inform any airport within a certain radius of your flying area that you were planning to fly. I called an Air Force Base near me and told them I was flying this little foamy RC plane and they asked how high, and I told them. They were like “WTF, why are you telling us this?” I told them it was a requirement of the FAA and they told me, (as I already knew), that any REAL airplane flying as low as my RC plane had WAY more to worry about than my plane, things like trees, houses, power lines, etc…

I installed Remote ID but I attached it with Boeing bolts so it may not be there when the FAA shows up.

AMA lack of balls and folding to the FAA stopped me from supporting them. They allowed them to lump a helicopter and a plane in with a quad/drone.

Out of respect to you sir, nobody should ever buy such a

[SchafferTwins]

This is one of the reasons I now fly UMX in my back yard. Local schools and parks that had areas we were permitted to fly have now closed to use for RC planes, largely due to people flying the DJI drones around everything and not staying in the boundaries that were designated.

Brian: When the Chinese fly their next spy ballon over the U.S. will they be required to have a sky remote.

[williamwarth]

Correct me if im wrong, LAWS have to be submitted as bill, go through legislation before it goes on the books. The FAA puts forth rules, not LAWS.

[janrc]

In Germany our lobby organisation for RC: Deutsche Modellflieger Verband (DMFV) has managed to prevent the duty of setup such devices. We only have to print the ID out and add it inside the plane. Thats it. No electronic necessary.

[spookytkid]

Crying out frikn loud... there is no part of my life that doesn't have a government jack boot crushing my neck.

[dronepilotrc]

I agree, flying at the local park spreads the most joy 🎉

[sstolt]

The FAA can't even regulate commercial aviation safety, this is stupid and I won't comply.

[foehammergaming]

It is very refreshing to hear Brian talk about government and over reach. Sometimes I think the media/.gov want us to feel like we are alone in our frustrations. It’s nice to know that we are not alone and that more of us feel just like Brian does than don’t.

[robgoffroad]

I will never comply with remote ID. Period, end of story.

[OrderoftheWarlocks]

Wow, all my planes just magically became less than 250g. I'm sure a police officer is carrying a scale around with him to measure planes at a park.

[jimsodowsky]

Being a former, 13 years, FAA employee I feel you are being nice in your use of the word 'ludicrous' towards the FAA bureaucracy. It is a shame the AMA rolled over to the faa. I wrote my objections to the AMA twice knowing full well they aren't listening, just like the FAA. I am a FAA Certificated Pilot and FAA Certified Aircraft Maintenance Technician (A&P), with an IA Rating for many years and still own my own plane. Notice I used the term Certificated because the word license isn't in the FARS. The point is too many people DON'T do their homework in advance and listen to the power mongers that don't give an iota about us real AMERICANS. They are only concerned about their unholy paychecks...

[knowme]

I WILL NOT COMPLY! I really doubt an agent is gonna come hours out of their way. to harass a single 52 year old man flying his model

I think every hobbyist should just mount one of these in their car, and then go park it in long term airport parking...

Great video and well said Brian and camera crew! My planes will remain undocumented.
