We have never had RC aircraft hit a airliner and it may never happen but I think keeping RC aircraft away from airports is really where the FAA should put its efforts instead
of 400' limits and RID...

Modelers have been flying over 400' for years with no ill effects to full scale and the main reason is that full scale almost never fly below 2,000' unless landing or taking off.
