Default Ham Band - OK to let others fly??

I seem to recall seeing somewhere that only the person actually licensed as a ham operator can fly an RC plane on a ham band frequency.

Does anyone recall a link to that information??


As I remeber it third-party operations cover only two-way communications and that the idea of third-party traffic does not apply to remote control of models (as the FCC calls it).

I have searched the FCC and ARRL websites without any real luck. As I recall you have to piece together three differnt parts of the Part 97 regs covering ham radio operation to get to the bottom of it all.

Anyone have any help??

Thanks
