"Who said anything about hitting a plane? "
AC 91-57 Paragraph 3, part D:
d. Give right of way to, and avoid flying in the proximity of, full-scale
aircraft. Use observers to help if possible.
They only advise yeilding, since they say to yeild in this advisory. If that is the logic behind thinking the contents of the advisory are the only control FAA has on flying models.
It almost seems absurd to think there isnt some other faa statements that mandate we have to yeild, but yet some folks declare 91-57 the onlything in the entirety of the CFRs that control RC, and it is just an advisory we can choose to blow off.
Well, Blow Off the part that says we have to yeild.
See how well that works, and be sure to tell the guys coming after you how wrong they are.

Oh, just thought of another rule that isnt about RC Models
Since ya'll keep saying the 400' is just an advisory, and nowhere else are models talked about....
Just take your model up to FL190. The deffinition of Class A doesnt mention models, so that must be one of the laws you claim are not for us.... have at it. Fly at FL190 with impunity, tell them only ac91-57 controls models when they come after you.
Or is it possible there are regulations that control the actions we do without mentioning the RC Model at all? Such as this clear example of an altitude regulation that blows the concept of "
Only ac91-57" RC altitude control.
Sure we will never get our models up there, but it is a regulation, that is not ac91-57, and it does restrict our alt by law. That is just one example of the laws(cfrs) that some say dont exist.
