John Taylor (2018 decision) made the same "arbitrary and capricious" claims, under 5 separate arguments:
"We reject all of Taylor's arbitrary and capricious challenges to the rule".
RaceDayQuads' lawsuit is in the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the same court.
The difference is that the Taylor lawsuit was based on A:80 years of model operations yet the FAA saw no need to exercise regulation over R/C ops, and B:the law in place (at the time) stated that the FAA may not promulgate any new rules or regulations for recreational operations.
I'm guessing RDQ will have a much more difficult time, since what they are claiming is not enumerated in the Constitution as a right.
