You miss my point completely. Radio controlled aircraft all have a similar threat profile to commercial and private aviation. That has been true before the big drone explosion. Drones don't pose any more threat than any other R/C plane[1].

And yet there has been a concerted effort to call out drones as a threat, so why? And the only reason that comes up is that drones in the form of quad/hex/octa copters can do things that regular R/C planes can not, and those things are threatening to people and privacy on the ground, not the air. So why not talk about the real problem instead of this "made up" problem?

[1] Ok so balsa or styrofoam gliders are probably not on anyone's list of threats.
