Their are lots of videos on youtube showing models flying over a mile high and through fog and cloud cover. There is no way a pilot or spotter can keep track of a model being flown like that. Its just plain irresponsible and dangerous. Not for the RC pilot but for any manned aircraft that may run into it.

There is already talk of bans on FPV equipment. I am not for banning anything but do think it should be regulated and the purchaser trained in responsible use. But if the FAA wants it banned you won't hear a peep out of me protesting the ban.

My buddy flies a homebuilt Falco all wood plane that cruises at between 180 and 200 knots. I can't imagine what it would be like to hit a model plane at that speed. Especially one like you are talking about that would surely weigh over 10+ pounds with a full payload. I am sure it would bring the plane down. And I believe its not a matter of if but when for this to happen. Let some people get killed and watch the rules and laws that are implemented.
