It's not a rule, it's a LAW PL115-254 in fact. It was passed overwhelmingly by the US Congress and signed into LAW by the President. Even the member representing AMA's home district even voted for it. Now what's support!

See above. PL112-95 Section 336 was repealed by PL115-254 Section 349(b)(2); it no longer exists.

The FAA did not do it. See above.

If that's all the rules allow you to do, then so be it. Perhaps your club should buy more land instead of imposing risk (finanancial and otherwise) on your neighbors, all so you can play with your toys.
