Stop the drone hate campaign and embrace it as an opportunity
Technological progress can & will not be stopped
Drones offer the following opportunities:
-FPV flight as sport stimulates the economy (FPV flying parks,events,competitions)
-Affordable regulation as sport gives the hobbiest something to focus his/her energy
-Seeing drone flight as embraced by government makes it less cool to fly illegally
-Somewhere for FPV pilots to fly & compete opens up opportunities for sponsorships, training courses, certification, drone building programs & television sports shows
-Easier to police if done in open than pilots going "underground" and fly in car parks at night to avoid arrest
Endless social & commercial opportunity.
All the government & BBC do is vilify the hobby.
NOT COOL!
Moving forward, create:
-FPV racing as a sport
-AFFORDABLE certification & licensing
-National FPV racing season with sports events
-Training & certification in drone construction
