You made a comment elsewhere about numb-nuts behavior and people doing things they know are wrong. That includes you bragging on a public forum about flying to 1000AGL after right after you agreed in a certification that you would maintain flight ops at or below 400AGL. That's just plain stupid, in addition to being irresponsible. I certainly hope your stance does not represent the official position of the JPO, since it is an AMA SIG.
First, I NEVER said at that point that AMA registration would meet FAA registration requirements - only that the AMA was working to make it so, and guess what, that looks like it will come to pass. Stay tuned for more information from the reliable source - the AMA.
Second, I never "bragged" about flying to 1000' AGL, in fact I stated that I rarely do, and always according to the AMA safety code and with a spotter. What I did say was that you were incorrect in saying that there was an absolute limit of 400' as a result of "signing" the FAA "guidlines" on a website. Guess what, you were incorrect on that as well, as confirmed by the AMA in its latest posting.
Nowhere that I can see have you acknowledged your errors... Mine was engaging in an argument with someone who was incorrect and could not be convinced otherwise.
