This is a problem, the current unofficial version of the interpretation seems to place this activity as an unallowed commercial activity even though it is being performed in support of recreational model aviation. I hope that the FAA has read my comment on this issue and recognized their error.

I can't imagine anyone dumb enough to pay for flight lessons when, for the small price of membership, he can receive all he help he needs for free, as often as he needs it. I think that this should require a license though.

There's a flight school in Shanwo Wisconsin and I thought it was stupid but after seing the results it does make a differance. Especially over most club teaching and deffinatly self taught ... Look at UR own club (IF u actually fly at a Chartered club) and there in every club smoe people that are down right DANGERIOUS but for some reason the club put's up with them and their antics cause they are part of the IN CROWD.
