ARLA/CLUSTER: Quanto mais restritiva é a legislação menos jovens podem ser cativados para o hobby. Jovem americano de 15 anos luta contra as normas da FAA em relação ao aeromodelismo nos EUA.

15-year-old fights the FAA anti-model flying NPRM with social media

The FAA has issued an NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rule Making) that would
effectively see the end of the traditional hobby of flying RC planes,
helicopters and drones.

As well as mandating remote ID on store-bought products it would
effectively (over time) outlaw scratch-built craft as well. This stands to
have a hugely negative impact on those STEM/STEAM programs that have in the
past used drones and RC planes as a teaching tool and a way of getting kids
into electronics, engineering, and aerospace-related subjects.

Although many older folk have tried to rally public support for some
pushback on these outrageous proposed new rules, a 15-year-old named *Jack
Thornton* has outclassed everyone with his four-and-a-half-minute YouTube
video.
Not only does he explain what's going on but he makes a fantastic case for
the continuation of the hobby and even uses some of the tech to create the
video.


I am seriously impressed by what this guy has done!
