3 things ...1.) The FAA is government Congress Is government we have to talk Politics when discussing These government. agencies ...
2.) We won't be licensed if we Obey the Rules of the CBO. With out some sort of test and a peice of paper how do U prove U know the Rules. And 3.) Not If but when someone (because They have no Idea of the rules of the CBO) as a recreational flyer interferes with the flight of a maned aircraft or worse, U going to tell me all the kids the AMA signed up for FREE have read or even know of the AMA/CBO Rules. Not a chance. How many of U think that people read the warnings that come with all the models sold through Hobby Shops and mail order today to Join the AMA and fly only at places away from houses, people and no congested places.
If U believe the Rules of the CBO are being followed by the 70% of people flying some sort of R/C plane today U are sorely mistaken. Need proof Look on You Tube or the Go Pro Channel or any internet place that's supports that kind of video. These people don't in most cases don't know of the rules of the AMA/CBO nor do they care about any rules. Most AMA members can't even get the rules of their own CBO right when asked to explain them.[h=3]
SEC. 336. SPECIAL RULE FOR MODEL AIRCRAFT.[/h]
