Lets not blame all of this on the government. First we have an organization that spent X amount of dollar’s lobbying Congress for an exemption to a segment or UAVs from regulation. The 112[SUP]th[/SUP] Congress in one of its few accomplishments and great wisdom by law granted that exception. This forced the FAA to define by interpretation what that law meant and how they intended to enforce it which by the way is one of the things they get paid to do. Now we have the same organization, along with several others crying foul and suing the FAA over their interpretation. Don't think that those things don't have an impact on their schedule and getting the job done.
Other countries? Do any of these other countries have an exemption by law for certain segments of UAVs? I haven’t seen many UAV videos from North Korea or Cuba have you? What sort or UAV regs do you suppose they have?
