Do you disagree with the FAA's statement above? and if so How are they wrong?

No I do not agree with that. It's just not me. The NTSB judge said that there are no present FAA regulations that apply to model aircraft. Or at least not that applied to the Pirker case. However, I do believe the regulations on obstuctions can be applied.
