Gerry,
The 3D/heli analogy is very weak in my opinion. Exploring the capabilities of flying post stall (3D) or flying helis without obstructing a flight pattern has nothing to do with the special considerations involved with flying to the capabilities and limits of FPV.
Not to mention, Control Line and indoor are safely operated away from the RC flight line within the limits of a designated area, which is the key.
In any case, you either operate within LOS (including FPV with a spotter at a field that allows it) or you don't. In my opinon, the FPV hobby/market/industry caters to the latter and doesn't reflect my hobby and the way I choose to be involved in it.
