Below 70 feet, usually. C/L are currently not model airplanes but kites. I'd want that in writing though. Park Rangers and FAA guys (except Mark ''Hook 57'') cannot be trusted to know that they aren't restricted without black and white, to the point print.

If I understand your statement , controline models are'nt aircraft , but kites.
You are very misinformed .
Yes, they are referred to by the FAA as being of tethered flight and are exempt from TFR's. Any other info you want to enlighten me on I would be glad to read it. Thank you,
Chris...
Suggest you attend a controline meet and observe if they fly like a kite. Tethered flight? Well, that is a stretch.
