200 AGL to 400 AGL: Commercial and non-commercial units with sophisticated sense and avoid technology
Nothing above 400' AGL unless in predefined low risk operating areas
Nothing within 5nm of towered field
Nothing under class "C" veil
Nothing under class "B" veil
Got a timeline on this happening?
My prediction....if that happens, someone in this thread is going to blame the AMA.
Seriously though....my prediction is that none of that will happen. The hobby (as we know it), will not be adversely affected, nothing burdensome or harsh will befall us, and the hobby will continue forward with all types of safe and responsible flying welcomed.
Let's put something on this...a friendly wager. Which ever of us comes closer to their prediction is crowned the Carnac of RC. RC Carnac is hosted in the other parties club as a guest flier, and has a nice lunch on the club, a regional favorite perhaps.
In the alternative, a donation to the RC Carnac's veterans charity of choice.
