If the FAA wont get you, the EPA will. With the Nitromethane and synthetic oils spewing out and landing on the ground, surprised they aren't involved too. I can understand some of what they are doing, but it is a government organization, and they will go too far. As far as distance, my T-Clips with a FG-11 on it will go for an hour at 3/4 throttle, and that is moving fast for that plane. Add in a heading hold and altitude gyro, it can fly a straight line for an hour or more. How far can it travel in that time, I dont know, but I bet it is going to be more than 6 miles. Also with the 2.4 radios, they can shoot 6 miles line of sight, which is exactly what the curvature of the earth is. The plane only needs to receive the signals, and with a boosted radio, it can easily be flown for a longer distance. Large planes that can easily carry additional weight, or those that require a pound or more of lead to balance can be turned into small flying bombs by replacing the lead with C4. Yeah sounds Tom Clancyish, but imagine what 2-3 pounds of C4 can do, or Semtex, or any of those plastiques. Some of these planes can have enough power for unlimited verticals too, and one placed in just the right spot in front of an airplane on approach can create one hell of a mess if timed right. This is the thinking of Homeland, FBI, etc. I am quite certain they have run these possibilities over and over, so some of what this is about is justified. Unfortunately it impacts everyone involved in this hobby.

I can understand their reasoning for NOTAMs in most cases, but this one, over Disney, is just plain ridiculous.
