The answer to the question here really is obvious, there is no spinning it in a different direction or twisting reality to be done. Most all of us here know that it is against the current regulations to fly above 400' unless there is an LOA or some other agreement to the contrary with the FAA and there have been precious few sites that have been through the process and had that granted. My opinion is there really is only one legitimate answer. Many of us here, myself included, believe that you need to follow the law and regulations in place while you try to effect changes. AMA member or not but AMA members especially need to be seen as obeying the FARs.
