Section 336 specifically prohibits the FAA from making any new rules pertaining the hobby sUAS operated within the programming of a CBO.

(3) the aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design,construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered by acommunity-based organization;
So unless you can get Congress to re-write this law then there is simply no way for your dream of the FAA imposing regulations on RC modelers to come true.
