No prob, lil' bro.

Actually I'm glad you brought up the general topic. It got me to considering the potential impact on modelers of the latest epistle from FAA. Initially I felt it too loose in terms of regulation.........the part about UAs being classed as model airplanes if they are operated like model airplanes. Unusual reaction for me, as I'm big on freedom - not a law & order type of guy by any measure. Justice and freedom fan yes and big time, but the law in this country has very little to with justice any more, and order is at the opposite pole from freedom. So, I've decided I like the wild west open-endedness that the wording in the FAA policy memo seems to infer. It's more in line with my general philosophy of the way things should be. It is the sort of lack of specific guidance that forces people to exercise good judgment and responsibility in their actions, rather than relying on the law to tell them how act. From many discussions in this forum, this one included, it is obvious there a lot of folks that are very uncomfortable when they don't have somebody else to tell them what to do. Tough noogies. They'll have to deal with it in this isolated instance. They well deserve that discomfort IMHO. Have you noted the perversity in our society that those same people that need having rules to live by dictated to them in order to feel warm and fuzzy are invariably the same one's that feel they are best qualified and are the most motivated to make rules governing how the rest of us should act?
