RE: Overflying Private property without permission
Not sure about the legalities... but my opinion would be that even the US government should need to get my permission to overfly my land...even if a satellite...but of course, for the right reasons I'd have no problem with that or model flying...I am easy to get along with. LOL
But really, why should one person's desires supersede another's ...we allow full scale airplanes to transverse our air”space”... As for as I am concerned those passengers can just walk and pay whoever for the privilege of passage.
”Air rights” which is really “Space rights” should be similar to mineral rights...bought, sold or traded if wished...but it seems we sold out our “air rights” out a long time ago by being less than diligent in protecting our individual rights... With that being said, unless the aircraft, model or not, is causing harm then I guess it not any different than a crop duster flying over your land to facilitate a neighbor's agenda.
