I don't care if your an AMA member or not. I don't have the privledge to fly on or over my own land. I wish you happiness and hope that you are safe with your flying.


I do believe you have the right to fly over your own land, and no other aircraft can legally fly within 500 ft of you or your house except for landing, take off, etc. If you don't live right next to an airport there should be no law prohibiting you from that.......Maybe that is why we have the 400ft ceiling guideline

A quick note. The FAA will not be an enemy until you make them one.

Not saying they ARE the enemy, unless they impose overly restrictive rules on our hobby due to the need to regulate the UAV industry. Lets say you owned a model turbine jet engine manufacturing business and they outlawed turbine models, I am sure they would not be your best friend
