I totally agree with you Pipe!!! I am impressed the extent you went to to side step that rule
I also think if there was an accident with a buddy box, it would be very easy to prove that it had nothing to do with this rule. For the AMA to prove it was negligence because of it being on 6 meters with a non-license operator on the buddy box, GOOD LUCK!!! Do you think if there was an accident and you did not have your name in the plane, you would not be insured? Come on! I am not advocating breaking every ticky-tack rule but this one of the FCC's is ridiculous when applied to R/C modeling!
