You are confusing the issue. My pirate joke is about the guide lines they issued. You are discussing the congressional law they are interpreting. But anyway the CBO rules are not laws. The FAA can only step in when you fly in front or near full scale aircraft. Well my interpretation anyway.
That is correct. FAA covers aviation hazards, damage or injury. Local law enforcement will take care of local damage and injury.
As long as you fly according to CBO rules you are safe. Any accident will be just that and covered by insurance either your own home owners or the clubs insurance.
If you read the special rule, you will see that it is going into the FAR and will be enforceable. As I have told others it is now time for public responses to the FAA. You have 30 days.
