Appowner,

It's our understanding that the really offensive systems are those that allow flight beyond Line Of Sight, are controlled or process video through a cellphone or tablet. Ft. Rucker knows that our systems don't do this. The issue is with DoD. We need the AMA to lobby the DoD to allow the Post Commanders the discretion to allow RC flying under the rules of a community based organization like the AMA . Allow flying in low risk area (Low security risk) following the AMA Safety Code and Flying Field Guidelines.

If the AMA would step up and do this it would go a long way in earning the dues we pay them. Just Sayin
