Federal, state, and local authorities are currently consumed by “drone phobia”. This craziness has all authorities primed to show their “muscle” by catching and processing offenders in an attempt to make an example to others. No doubt, this will be “supercharged” by uninformed private citizens or by citizens who “have a bone to pick” with RC activity. Both types live in close proximity to RVRC.
Considering this wildfire environment, is it in RVRC’s best interest to sponsor and promote any event in 2016? This invites authorities and the general public to come and scrutinize our operations. Especially this year, the smallest safety “issue” would be greatly blown out of portion and more than likely result in a stiffer penalty.
Until other RC events have experienced the newness of this “yet tested” phobia, perhaps it would be in the best interest of RVRC to not hold and promote a 2016 event After 12 months of other RC event history, then RVRC would be in a better position to determine if a major event would help or hurt the well-being of RVRC.
