    To VLS or not to VLS? That is the question?!

    I would love the opportunity to fly outside my line of site, in airspace above 400ft and using FPV without a spotter or just using the phone to navigate. Despite my want, I don't do any of these. I sincerely have no intention to disrespect your opinion. But I disagree. if you can't see it...
