Thank you for the clarification. Interesting that individuals who possess a Sport Pilot's license can fly a 1/2 ton plane at 120mph without a medical certificate.I guess the FAA forgot about that exception when they decided that UAV pilots must have a medical certificate to fly a quadcoptor that is a small fraction of that weight.
