I am the submitter of the article. Yes, I did oversimplify the issue, for brevity and to create interest. I could have written a more detailed and accurate intro, but it may have been too pendantic to be aired. This of course would insure that people would have had no knowledge this was happening. The branch of the government known as the ATF has been actively working to shut this hobby down now for many years, partly out of concern for aircraft, and partly a concern over the possibility for malicious misuse. I think in the new age we live in, this concept is called "terrorism"
So I stand by what I said, both in intent, and in content. I don't care about the purists, they get nothing done. I do care about the truth, and that's what I have pointed people towards. How much of it they pick up, and how well they pick it up, will depend on their individual ability. In a democracy, that's all you can do....
