The few posts i have made concerning pilots wanting to get around height limits or fly long distance could be easily misunderstood, for the most part i fully understand why, apart from wanting to achieve or punch through cloud with no features around,
Although i have no interest to send my phantom up there and till now no incentive to make mods for distance beyond its intended use, i am all for pushing limits so also accept other pilots should have the freedom to do so, for me to advise against would be hypocrisy, i spent lots of time and energy avoiding forced use of transponders,
I questioned rules, i explained why it was not possible to submit a planned flight including route and place of landing,
I have been a pilot most of my life at times regarded as one of the rebels who would bring unwanted regulation which would result in my chosen sport ruined, some used the word castrated, we so called rebels decided to keep a low profile and carry on, avoiding our activities becoming a point of discussion by clubs or authorities, we became invisible, we disapeared from the clubs,
I wonder why hard line pilots flying quads have not taken the same route,
Regulation came to us in various amounts in countries we flew, we found we had a lot to learn in order to do as we had done for so long.
