Default Pending FAA restrictions on RC

Apparently, the FAA is living up their motto, "We're not happy unless you're unhappy."

I've been following this potential problem, and I wonder if anybody else is as concerned as I am.

Nothing is carved in stone yet, but AMA seems to think that these will be some of the restrictions:

- Altitude limit of 400
- Increased minimum distance from full scale airfield
- Max aircraft weight of 55 pounds
- Total ban of all gas turbine engines
- Max speed of 100 MPH
