First, these things can kill you. I approached my first flight, continue to approach the rest of phase 1 flights and will approach all phase 2 flights with this in mind. I survived bikes, cars, certified and now working on surviving experimental aircraft keeping this in mind.

Second, flying is about the last bastion of personal responsibility. No one is really watching over your shoulder because you are expected to act like an adult and do what you say you will do. If WE act like children we will loose the privilege of being treated like an adult. If you get nailed it is your fault and no one else's. I only hope it does not blow back on the rest of those out there trying to do things the right way.

I am grateful the FAA provides the ambiguity they do in their rules along with a good bit of freedom to interpret those rules. It has been my experience that more rules (or more specificity in a rule) means less freedom.

Thank you for the original post
