Who is doing the law? YOU the citizen ultmately. Don't let a bunch of bureaucrats dictate what the hobby should be allowed or not allowed. Don't wait for some new blind law, act to forge it the way you want.
While his flying ability is outstanding and his accident record is clean, I still can't help think that eventually something might go wrong at the wrong place and time. All it takes is one bad ESC, signal loss, or any other "minor" problem. His videos are amazing and I'm sure very well planned, but perhaps he (and every other FPV''er) should refrain from flying over people, cars, buildings. One thing I do know: if we antagonize the bigwigs and they continue to see only negative publicity about FPVing, they'll just write laws to make it illegal to fly anywhere- including remote areas where there's no humans in a 100-mile radius. I'm hoping government regulators don't throw a blanket law over us, ban flying over people, buildings, highways, but not in a park/ empty space where there's no threat to anyone. I would not be surprised if tunnel-vision lawmakers make it illegal to fly FPV anywhere. All it take is one moron, like the NY DJI incident, to injure someone or damage something and the media to make it a front page story. Fly safe, fly smart, stay away from flying over people, cities, roads, etc and we might just be lucky to keep our hobby legal
