1. Thanx for the link

2. Happy? I would be happy if folks didnt call things that are not coded law, a law. I would also be happy with 130lb models flying safely without BigBrother or SomeBunchOfGuys having to give permission. There is a bunch of BLM land out north of 58 where a 500lb model could go in with 100gallons of gasoline, and not really hurt anything.

So the 25kg is not yet law. AMA hands out 55+ waivers. Seems the documented viloation of the non-law for the past few years hasn't brought the the heavy hand of the fed in.

No Law forces the AMA 400' (frequently officially exceeded)
No Law forces the AMA 55lb (also frequently oficially exceeded)
Autonomous is still a quagmire

This has been a very infomative thread on the AMA-FAA relationship, thankyou to all the factual contributers
