Much like zoning commissions and committees restrict big corporations from fouling public lands and polluting the environment, I feel that it is the public's responsibility to put a lid on what can easily become a public nuisance by large corporations like Google and Amazon. Namely, delivery drones that may make for a quick order of cheap pizza at the expense of others who work hard for what they earn, and want a bit of piece and quiet. I don't think I would appreciate delivery drones at all hours of the day and night, any more than I do boom cars and loud mufflers. At the same time, I want friends and neighbors to be able to enjoy what I have to offer with my hobby, to continue my strive in improving my personal relationships. We shall all work on this together. I may not be a traditional modeler, but I do have an brand new ARF that has yet to be built. If I can get support from my local club, then I will plan on rejoining the AMA to get back into the hobby. We need all the help we can get. |

Every defense needs a good offense -- in this case a petition
I've been saying that in order to win this game we not only need to mount a good defense of what we currently have, but we also need to go on the offense and pop the delivery drone bubble that's the motivation behind all of this.
With that in mind I've just created a Petition which will be sent to all governors, President Trump, Amazon, and others. Frankly - they may ignore it and some (most) probably will. However -- we need to flank the enemy and hit them from all sides. It's my hope that some of you will find this a positive contribution to the issue and jump on this -- posting to your FB - or wherever else you can. I'd like to enlist the general public - not just modelers in this fight and I believe this is one way. The link is http://chng.it/vHFsxJyQft (text below) If you disagree -- don't sign the petition. If you agree please help me blow up the internet with resistance. Please don't allow this post to hijack the thread. Please don't discuss it's merit or lack thereof here. It's the best I could do -- and to some it will be flawed -- but it's better than nothing. The site will likely hit you up for a donation. There are better places to put your money. All I'm asking for is support. Prohibit Commercial Drones from operating over private property or residential areas <400' A number of business are endeavoring to create Unmanned Arial Systems to deliver packages. While we're not opposed to new opportunities afforded by advanced in technology, these opportunities must not impinge on the individuals safety, security, comfort, privacy, or property. The sound of Drones, their physical presence agitating livestock, domestic pets and residents as well as the danger of having them fall from the sky over private property are in direct conflict with ad coelum doctrine which, from common law, states that a property owner owns not only the plot of land but also the space above the plot. In United States v. Causby The court held the public's right of flight does not extend downward to the earth's surface. finding "if the landowner is to have full enjoyment of the land, he must have exclusive control of the immediate reaches of the enveloping atmosphere. Otherwise, buildings could not be erected, trees could not be planted, and even fences could not be run" …“The fact that he does not occupy [space] in a physical sense -- by the erection of buildings and the like -- is not material. As we have said, the flight of airplanes, which skim the surface but do not touch it, is as much an appropriation of the use of the land as a more conventional entry upon it. Commercial Drones or UAS must not be allowed to operate over private property or residential areas. To do so is a violation of property owners property, security, comfort, privacy, and safety. |

Relevant FAA Documents. Please Read
Google " FAA ANPRM 2 13 2019 sUAS "
This is the genesis of the NPRM. Note that sections are followed by "Questions for the Public". If you read the questions, you'll see where our comments on the NPRM should be focused. I don't know what happened between the ANPRM, Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) and NPRM steps, but the FAA got answers to some of these questions really wrong for our community. AMA and DJI were apparantly present but not heard in this process. We need to be looking at the Federal rulemaking process to understand how to play their game to fight this. Google " FAA.GOV Rulemaking " The results of the ARCs can be found at: " UAS ID ARC Final Report with Appendices.PDF" We've got our homework to do. Arguing among ourselves won't get us what we want. Its time to fight the NPRM the smart way. If you have other such documents, please post them. |

I don't understand ,how can the FAA receive responses especially from organizations like the AMA and just arbitrarily choose not to recognize and incorporate them? If they have the right to just ignore feedback or relegate it to just being a footnote in their document there isn't a lot of hope that they will take any suggestions into consideration and incorporate them in the final ruling. If they are a government agency shouldn't they be required to fairly consider responses and feedback they receive?

"Gunpla" is Gundam models, as well as the hobby of assembling and painting them, is known in Japan as Gunpla. Their a strange but harmless bunch of characters.. Mike |
