I'm new to the hobby, but it has already become apparent to me that the laws need refined and defined. They also need a system for the laws to keep up with the technology. What made sense 3 years ago might need expanded today.

With that said, no laws or legislation will fix stupid. Stupid is, stupid does. What may be needed even more than defined laws is an educated enforcement.

It's long over due IMHO. If the industry isn't able to self-correct itself then we, by default, allow the FAA to control hobby actions. It's obvious that we can't police our own.

I don't. I can foresee a time where that may be appropriate and the technology can accommodate that flight plan (and I emphasize PLAN) and should be allowed.

Laws are dangerous things. With none we find chaos. With overbearing laws we find corruption. Common sense standards wouldn't be bad.

Today we have a vague set of guidelines and rules, for various uses, based on intentions of the pilot at the time of flight. That is the definition if insanity if you ask me.

Additionally we have random enforcement by people that are vaguely informed of vague guidelines and rules.

There seems to be a lot of... vaguity (that's not a word, but I like it, so I'm using it) going on in this hobby.
