Color me confused. I like that idea of yours, but see no reason it cannot be done under the current AMA rules for FPV flying. I suppose your reasoning is that the model cannot ever leave the direct line of sight of the FPV spotter.
As long as non of the obsticles are large enough to fully block the entire aircraft from view and as long as the obsticle course is visible from the where the FPV pilot and FPV spotter are standing, I think this is good to go under current rules. If you want to do it over the next hill, completely out of sight, then it is an issue...but I see no reason to do it over the hill or on the other side of the woods, etc, out of line of sight.
