Regulating those multi-rotor drones is becoming necessary because of the behavior of some of those flyers. So, if there's going to be regulations added they should concentrate on those drones and leave the rest of us alone. We're members of the AMA and follow strict safety guidelines and behave in a responsible manner. That alone separates us from many of those drone flyers.
There are days when some of those rowdy drone flyers show up at the local R/C field and the regular flyers go home. Then the group that regularly flies there gets blamed for their bad behavior.
Yep, I say regulate drones to the point where those who fly them can't see straight.
