Default RE: FAA regulating model airplanes

ORIGINAL: KidEpoxy

see, now that is what I call FAA saying otherwise to AC91-57 enforcement
So much for the FAA 400' Law.

What about the 20kg International treaty--> FAA law --> AMA rule?

"The AC encourages voluntary compliance with safety standards. The Academy of Model Aeronautics recommends a weight restriction of 55 lbs. (There are exceptions to the 55 lb. limit for operating large models.) You should follow industry-developed safety standards when operating your model aircraft. "

Sounds like the ICAO/FAA 20kg is voluntary / imaginary too (what the heck is ICAO?)
http://www.icao.int/


The 25 Kg (previously cited in error as 20 Kg) limit is not codified in US law. If people ignore it, it will be the law. Then you'll be happy, right?
