Mr. Browns' column addressed some issues that I had suspected were going to surface for some time. With the advent of larger models and superior technology to what we had available 15 years ago, I'm surprised we haven't heard from the FAA and NTSB sooner. Especially in light of 9-11. We must restrict some forms of model aircraft flight and available technology. I am aware that small r/c aircraft have been used in agricultural spraying operations for a long time now. Without going into detail, I think you can all understand why that may need to be a specialized and separately licensed/regulated activity.
Does this mean that we should also regulate and license the use of Flower vases and steak knives? I have heard that they have been used in cases of spousal abuse............................................. ...........................
