I think some type of class as well as a license is a must, I've posted it before, just add this to our current license rx number like a class D for motorcycles. Then the only way this matters is linking our rx numbers with the crafts we fly through the Fc or gps, I'm not an expert at all but would assume with the tech we have it's easy enough to have a scanner of some sort, gps or radar that can transmit our license numbers. This way you want to be a moron you personally get to face the music, not our hobby/businesses as a whole.
It'd be great if we could fly unrestricted or with few restrictions like it is now but if people were smart enough to police themselves than our police force,courts, and jails wouldn't be overcrowded or big businesses like they've become. If we don't get this moving soon I agree we will all be grounded or held back to 100ft limitations in the next couple years, its almost a guarantee. So if I have to jump through a hoop or two to fly long term and keep others safe I'm happy to do it. I personally think it's nearly impossible that any of these hobby grade solo or p3 sized copters could ever take down a manned craft beside maybe an ultralight. Fact is the media is convincing the masses otherwise so we got to act fast and I don't want to learn the hard way I'm wrong and .oooo1% of the time it could cause a crash.
Please if anyone has anything like this in the works and needs it I'd be more than happy to assist in any way I can just contact me here or at

If we don't take the first steps fixing all these issues the government will and it will be bad for all of us. Seems there's at least one of these idiots caught and reported on every week and I promise you there's plenty not reported or with little attention too. We have to at least try and "fix stupid" or were all going to suffer for the few morons in our hobby. This may not end idiots but if a license is required to buy or fly one of these things at least it will cut down on fools getting their hands on them and make people debate if it's worth the legal issues to be an idiot.
