a small question:
in USA you can only fly up to 200 mph, and as i understand this is an "AMA regulation"..
but if i go in the middle of the nevada desert,(for example) where there is "pratically nobody", can i fly faster than 200 mph??
or is overall limited to 200 mph??
thanks
It seems to depend on who you ask.
According to my conversation with Ilona Maine (from the AMA), if you're not at an AMA chartered club or an AMA sanctioned event, and you don't care about AMA insurance, then you don't have to worry about AMA rules.
According to my conversation with JPO Pres Steve Ellzey, if you're an AMA member at all then you must obey AMA rules at all times and can not selectively choose when you want AMA insurance (etc), and when you don't.
So - take your pick.
