Default More Government Regs

So I decided to post this here since most wont read it anyway
Our wonderful government has decided since drones are such a menace, there needs to be rules about airspace. That means any unmanned aerial vehicle.
So the law says essentially that nothing can fly over 400ft high. Anywhere. Not even if you are in a rural area far from an airport. So at my personal landing strip I can’t go over 400ft high. So you might say so what? Most of my planes are IMAC style aerobatic planes that fly over 100mph. That means if I start a vertical maneuver at 50ft high, I will only be able to fly a vertical line for like two seconds. It will ruin IMAC and soaring competition.
Thank you morons with drones!
There was pressure from the big retailers (Amazon and such) for clearing up the airspace for their delivery drones. So that had some to do with it.
Model aircraft have been around since there has been full size planes. So instead of punishing drone people, punish all RC. Much like gun control, a few idiots make us all pay.
I know most of you don’t care about this but just look how something as harmless as RC planes have been regulated. Think about it. We aren’t free anymore
Rant over
