...and someone questions its status; I can explain to them what that status is. If they persist or cop an attitude, then maybe I can tell them to go pound sand.

Just tell them to pound sand from get go if they don't
know "the status" and seem to want to know the status...LOL This is really silly... model airplanes are model airplanes and as such the definition is very large unless you are willing to accept model airplanes
are model airplanes...LOL. The use of model airplanes can be another thing all together...
If they are all models LC, then they have no damn business operating in the NAS mixing it up with manned aircraft. Not anywhere near an airport, arunway approach path,orwithin 500' vertically of anywhere a manned aircraft could potentially operate (and that's a lot of area). Operating a model is not considered an aeronautical activity, if thatis so then maybe they should be relegated to staying intoy space. Be serious, the technology that is planned for their "use" (and will be required) pushes them beyond being a model (which can be defined as a "small" representation). Eventually, they will operate well into the NAS and they will not be technically"small" representations, but rather as technologically efficient as a manned aircraft. But let's have it your way, push them torewrite the AC essentiallyas it is but with the above restrictions. That should work for you and it will only shutter the two RC fields I fly at.
