Default RE: Model Airplane or sUAS

Definition from the FAA-ARC recommendations:

Model Aircraft: A sUAS used by hobbyists and flown within visual line-of-sight under
direct control from the pilot, which can navigate the airspace, and which is manufactured or
assembled, and operated for the purposes of sport, recreation and/or competition.

The key words are hobbiest, VLOS, sport, recreation, competition
