Yes that is correct. The FAA and the Know Before You Fly Campaign offers a safety guideline that encourages modelers to stay below 400-feet. This is a good safe altitude limit for most modelers, but modelers operating under our safety program are permitted to fly over 400′."

From the FAA website.

"I will fly below 400 feet"


I found this interesting. before our registration was accepted we had to agree to the 400 foot rule. Did something change?

The AMA has addressed the question repeatedly, you even quote one of their answers. What is interesting or confusing about it? You say you follow the AMA forums and if that' the case the issue was dealt with, Chad noted as much on several occasions. We are exempted....due in part to the AMA's efforts. Isn't that a good thing?
