Careful with your wording, it is illegal of the AMA to lobby

The AMA has been in contact with several government agencies with regard to your concerns.

Although I am not 'in the know', from a discussion I had with Dave Brown, I think the AMA may be willing to give up anything more than "line of site" RC to protect our rights as modelers. Trying to set standards for UAV's may be impossible. His opinion seemed to be that if we limit ourselves to "line of site", that a pretty good case can be made. This is an evolving issue and things may be changing rapidly.

Take a look at the thread in this forum http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...59&forumid=211 and follow the links. It would appear that the rocket guys are toast. You can count on more information coming out as it develops.
