I like what you have to say--but,

After 50 years of dealing with the CAA and then the FAA I personally
like Part 103. Further, after spending time with the hang glider and
powered ultralight bunch I am very pleasantly surprised at the level
of aeronautical knowledge and skill, concern for safety and
professionalism I encountered.

Certainly they have some renegades but the majority are great people
who enjoy all the things that most dedicated aviators enjoy.

Not everyone flying under Part 103 is an outlaw just as not every
skipper of a 747 is God's gift to aviation.

I hope this doesn't come across as harsh or argumentative. I have
lived for the joy of flight for more than a half century now and it is
distressing to see how this can get bogged down in details. Yes, of
course I am aware of the world we are living in. I'm not living in
the past. Just, please, everyone look for ways to enjoy, not regulate
us out of the air. If I'm first, you're next.
