Then again perhaps the model airplane can be considered a UAV under the proposed NPRM because it was operated in FPV mode violating the AMA's safety code.
FPV-UAV operators ALWAYS need a spotter, therefore he could not "see and avoid" a conflict without a spotter as required.Yes violated numerous rules, UAV and FPV per AMA and the FAA.
