KidEpoxy,

Show me where the FAA has any authourity on model airplanes, at all! There are some specific requirements for moored ballons, kites, etc, but nothing that does not meet the defination of aircraft. Congress has not given them a mandate to do so. However there is a mandate to keep navigible airways clear of obstructions. However airspace below 1200 feet and beyond 3 nautical miles from an airport, and a few other exceptions is not considered navigible, or at least not controlled. I keep asking the questions. Why is the FAA so worried about this club? Especially if as others claim it is more than three miles from the airport. Did they make the mistake of confusing nautical miles with statute miles?
