This issue has really morphed over the last 8 years. I agree with Jim, the FAA could have mentioned weight limits, speed limits, altitude limits etc. All they have done is stopped people from wearing goggles to fly and now the AMA goes into a fit.
They have also stopped competition of pilots who are sponsered by manufactures, testing of models and flying tests of engines and motors by a factory paid RC pilot, and paid flight demonstrations. IMO banning or regulating these are not Constitutional as they are not interstate. rather they fly from point A and return to point A. As such the commerse is intrastate and the Constitution only allows regulation of Interstate commerse.
