As for some of us until the FAA puts out a statement in writing that the guidelines are not enforceable we will just follow what the FAA had put out. I think we all know if the FAA did not have a problem with RC being freely
operated over 400' they would just simply say so and they would have released a statement to that effect to the AMA.
