Hi Sport ,

I'd be willing to bet , in the very near future , the minute you go zipping around some stadium with any kinds of RC flying device of which you are in control , the FAA will most certainly take the view of it being an Aviation related activity and punish you accordingly . The Pirker case has demonstrated to the FAA that there are holes in their absolute control of the skies , and I'm sure that when the dust settles on all this rulemaking business , that the FAA will have those holes plugged so as to be able to punish anyone flying anything with impunity . That's what the "letter" departments do , FAA , FCC , ETC , they further their iron grip with each new opportunity to do so and the Pirker example is a loss I'm sure the FAA didn't take lightly . I know some see Pirker as some kind of Hero , to me I see him as yet another POS who came , crapped in OUR playground , and left caring not of all he screwed in the future by his antics .

Just remember , with all this "He Man" talk of what "They" can or can't do , The wrong place to fight ANY injustice is at the losing end of the Law's guns . Protesting a NOTAM to a local officer sent on the call is going to have exactly zero effect on whether or not the FAA can tell you when to fly your RC model . At best you'll end up with a criminal record , at worse maybe even end up clubbed like the earlier mentioned seal ,
