I disagree to excluding under 16 year olds from completing the accreditation course. I think that a person under 16 should be able to participate in one of the safest hobbies as a remotely piloted model aircraft owner.

I disagree with the registration and any proposed fees that may be incurred annually. This can be financially devastating as other family members also participate in remotely piloted model aircraft, and this will add to the cost of our hobby.
