The FAA is charged with regulating and promoting aviation.

The FAA gives away billions of dollars in grants to promote aviation in communities all over the country. The money is for new facilities and for improvements.

If the FAA regulates model aviation, it will then also be required to promote model aviation. That means millions of dollars coming our way.

If the FAA attempts to regulate model aviation without promoting model aviation then millions of dollars worth of attorney fees will bring the legal profession running to insist that we recieve our fair share of funding.

The FAA knows this.

The FAA is walking a tight rope. The lawyers are watching and circling.
