I apparently haven't been clear enough for some folks. My zero tolerance policy applies only to aircraft large enough to exceed the 55lb AMA LTMAI restriction. If your FEJ aircraft is large enough to suggest that it might exceed 55lbs, I'm going to check it. If the LTMA does not apply, go fly your jet, no problem. FEJ is currently the only ARF mfg offering the quantity and variety of jets which could easily exceed 55 lbs and is also having confirmed issues with substandard design or build methods. Hence my attention specifically to them.

Trust me, if you show up with an 130" SkyMaster F-104 at my event, I'm going to weigh it to be sure it's not 55lbs+ prior to flight, unless you already have a LTMA Permit to Fly. If it weighs 55.1lbs and you don't have an LTMA Permit to Fly on file, take it home!
