Do you think the AMA would try to file suit against a competing CBO for infringement on there intellectual property? I'm thinking the FAA would require such similar guidelines that it could turn into a fiasco. Just some more food for thought.

The AMA has the same basic safety code long before the FAA became involved in model operations. I don’t think the FAA had anything to do with the safety code if they did we would have more restrictions including
a hard 400 ft altitude limit.
