Feedback on the proposed changes to the implementation of a recreational drone (model aircraft) registration and operator accreditation scheme

Proposed policy change 1.

Please provide any comments you may have on proposed policy change 1.
I would rather it be scraped all together.
No benefit to me to being accredited only money in your pocket. Unnecessary regulation on people like me flying toy planes.

Proposed policy change 2.

My son is 10 and developing a passion for this hobby.
You give no reason for a person under 16 not being able to be accredited.
You Just killed off half of all up and coming modelers.

Your motives are becoming clearer.

Yep.
Got it.
You need to know who I am and where I live at all times.
I Don't agree with the over regulation of one of the safest hobby on the planet but sure.

I read that as every single plane I own (about 20) needs to be registered and I need to pay to register each one.

This is insane.
Again your motives are becoming clearer. A Cash gab before totally sinking the hobby.

Casa could have taken this opportunity to help promote this hobby and worked with groups and clubs and counsel to create an outcome that would benefit both the model flying community and gov. But seems to have made it's choice.
Such a same as this hobby attracts a lot of smart,unique and talented young and old people. Such a shame as a lot of people benefit from this hobby. You would think casa would do more to promote the hobby as so many commercial pilots started out with a background of model flying.
Guess money talks.
