well YEAH a fullsize F86 would be extreme,
thats why I use to talk about a FreeFlight 1/3 scale b24 model at FL181... you know, something reasonable
as an example of having no laws is equating to lawlessness
When a group wants to say
We can do XXX cause there are not ANY laws on models,
then why would folks be surprised that others will say
We can also do YYY if there are not any laws on models.
AMA insurance coverage and the FAA definition of "business purposes" are not related. One is not dependent upon the other.
We cant point at 1 guy doing 1 thing and tell the insurance its Commerce while telling the Fed its Hobby.
Which one are we lieing to?
You are correct, it dont matter a hill of beans what some posters accountant or some CBO wanna believe Commercial means,
the ONLY opinion that matters is the FAA's.
Hmm, do we have any examples of Commercial vs noncommercial from the FAA we can forecast from?
Sure, they get REALLY uptight and regulatey over pilots getting compensated without a Commercial license
