You've not read all of my posts, because if you had, you'd have seen your answer...And as far as your sarcastic comment about my knowledge...does an atom have a nucleus?

you have so far made 21 posts (most of them videos) in this thread. If you think I'm searching this forum to read all you posts think again. There was nothing sarcastic about my last question and your constant use of AGL instead of MSL and your refusal to explain how you come by those readings is telling. To answer your question, Yes.

What is the difference 400' or 4,000'? He is flying over people, houses, highways and near an aircraft approach w/o communication with approaching aircraft. I hope someone slaps the cuffs on him before someone gets killed.

waste the time to proposing a new rule giving them the ability to do what they can already do.

I have not seen all the video's but the ones I did see he is staying over the field. And he has stated he has or at least tried to do so. You are looking out of a wide angle video that he is not using for guidance. He is doing no different than most soaring enthusiasts, except he has made a video.

I pretty sure that is what news reporting has become. Opinions, selective reporting (opinionating), and sensationalism. I don't watch it anymore.

I looked as his RCU profile, beginner Pilot, 0 years building, what can you say about this beginner in this hobby? I can say, he is the type of person that has no respect for AMA or FAA rules, he doe's what he wants, nobody is going to restrict him, that's his attitude.
I deleted part of this post because it was not appropriate and I apologize to Maxililionalpha and anyone else I offended. These types of forums tend to let our temper get the best of us and in my case that is what happened. I still do not condone flying a 1500-3000' altitude.

My AMA number, is the same one that you use...lol. Build? Of course I build, and mod as well. Been in the hobby for years! Don't think I care to completely fill out any and all profiles on websites that I join. Not good business. You're the type of person that will have this hobby shut down, all because you can't see past 100' and wish for everyone else to fly like you do. Those that don't and won't, you get on the horn and drop a dime on 'em. lmao! Go get a life, informant!

Why do you not Post your AMA Number as asked? Something to hide? Every person has a seperate AMA number, and your number is not the same as mine, thank God.
You have no idea how I can fly, but I certainly obey rules, which you do not, as evident. No, I did not get on the Horn, instead notified the correct people with a computer. Informant, No. When it comes to people purposely violating rules in this hobby, which you seem to have great pleasure then yes, I will let somebody know about it, wait and see, is the game now.

Oh, you have been in the hobby for years? How about 4 as stated on your profile, and a beginner Pilot? You don't know anything about this hobby, and post stupid posts on a thread you know nothing about. No, I can see up to 400 feet, that is the altitude limit set by AMA and FAA rules. You do not clearly abide by those rules.
I can see farther than that but not 3000 ft flying a glider with a 5 ft wingspan.

I'd love for my attorney to chew you up and spit you out in court..lolBtw...it's a 6 foot wingspan. You must be thinking of one of your little fun-jets.
Ya, jackwagon! lol

I am not aware of any "max limits" in the regulations or in black law. However, I think the FAA could make an augment that 3000' is reckless and a risk to the National Airspace System. At that distance, one could argue that an R/C pilot cannot see the model and full scale aircraft well enough to meet the "see and avoid" standards under VFR rules. As I said before, if a mid-air collision with a full scale aircraft occurred at that altitude, they pilot of the model aircraft would be in a heap of trouble (far more serious than a $10,000 fine.)

If I'm not mistaken, post #167 is where I answered your question. Shortly after your post of the guy in the wheelchair with the glider. But....just to once again, answer your question.....EagleTree
Altitude Altimeter V4. I do know the differences between, AGL and MSL, ASL.

I owe you an apology. looking at the time stamps for posts #167 & #168 we were posting at the same time and I'm sorry I missed your post. Getting back to my original question of how you came to your AGL figures I will state again that most barometric altimeters measure in MSL as does the Eagle Tree Altimeter MicroSensor V4 that you use.
Please note the first bullet under Specifications. You really should know your equipment better. Now the question is why do you think it is appropriate to post multiple (13) videos in an AMA thread discussing the antics of people like you who only wish to post their videos on the internet and make false claims of "World Records"? The only point you appear to be making here is how ill informed people like you are that do these kind of things.

Yes, I am well aware of the differences between AGL and MSL however I'm trying to understand your reasoning behind why you wish to use AGL when your device of choice gives you altitude in "Above Sea Level". How are you arriving at AGL and why use AGL?
