It didn't appear so re CP's post #266 which I was replying too, apparently about the same time you were. I had not seen your post yet and so of course was not replying to it.
I agree with your observation so long as we are talking about FPVers that want to fly at AMA chartered sites and so abide by club and AMA rules, which I suspect is a small minority of the total population of FPV enthusiasts.
And while I'm being agreeable, I consider bruceal's position on banning FPV flying at a given site to be rational under the circumstances he has related. Not all sites can accommodate all types of models. Here in SoCal at least it is rare to find one that allows turbojets and even at the AMA's site Muncie I very much doubt that pylon racers can meet the posted sound level limit of 98dBA@9 ft without some serious rule bending.
