I will fully stand with him on BOTH of these posts !!!!!

I've said it before in one of these "We're all DOOMED" threads , , , , That the FAA is NOT going to have the RC inspectors hiding behind every tree just waitin for ya to reach 401 feet ! Screw up big and attract attention and of course the FAA will enforce the law . As I would expect them to . But to think it'll be full cavity searches for hitting 401 feet really IS "tin foil hat' material and our resident "gloomy Gus" mr. Hounddog just don't see it . Dude , if you keep on with flying in a safe manner , as you have presumably done all these years already , you'll have nothing to worry about , the FAA truly has better things to do than to chase around a bunch of old "circle flyers" as the younguns call us . But go tryin to chase down a jetliner with your quad to get some AWESOME MAN !!! U tube video and you can most certainly expect a visit !

Thank You Mr. She for trying to bring a bit of common sense to this thread , I , for one , really appreciate it .

I sure Hope to He[[ that U guys are right ... but U don't really believe the Proverbial "SHEIT" hitting the fan, isn't going to happen (Not If but When) something serious happens to take down a man carrying aircraft with or with out lose of life .The Powers that be i.e. the FAA/NTSB, White House, News Media will go into PANIC MODE and they won't care if it's the fault of some "Uninformed Quad Flyer" or some AMA/CBO member Flying at his Local R/C Field way out in the desert/country,Minding his own business, when some (Low Flying Fighter Jet type Jock) crossing over the R/C field at 500' AGL or below, and get's "WACKED by a "TOY AIRPLANE". It won't matter one stink'n bit. All He[[ will break Loose.

It's much more likely that (when it Happens) it will be some ROUGE Quad flyer flying where and when against the RULES but then No one Informed him of the Rules, and there in is the real problem. Not if, Still Mistakenly, U think I believe there will be all kinds of R/C COPS behind every Tree, But that U/Me/AMA/CBO LHS and all the Sellers of Flying TOYS have DONE NOTHING TO TRY TO INFORM THOSE So Called "IDIOTS" of the Rules.
Again Still JMHO.

But maybe U guys should Pull your Heads out of (XXX XXX) the Sand and take a look around.
Just as a "SIDE NOTE" Take a servay of your fellow R/Cers. Just see how many have no Idea or could care LESS of the AMA/CBO Efforts to stem the tide of Federal legislation to control our Hobby/Sport. 90% have know Idea of any of this and ounce LIKE U GUYS don't believe it could become a real problem.
