If the model is large enough to carry a person, then the FAA could possibly call the model an aircraft.
Where does that come from?
Part 91.1 (c)
Forgot to copy the text but that says the reg applies to each person aboard the aircraft. Aircraft in Part 14 is simply any craft which flies through the air, but either this has been changed or described differantly in another reg. But this one basically says that at least part 91 only applies to the people on the craft. I was thinking the definition defiened aircraft as having people on board, but either I have bad memory or it is defined differantly in another part.
