I distinktly recal reading in the AMA code that flying our models with visual aids such as onboard video or telescopes was prohibited for AMA members. Read as, If you get into trouble and cause damage because you were doing this... we are not going to cover it. While every R/C modeler has thought about doing this if even just for the "oh cool" factor I'm sure very few have actually done it. Not saying that few have put live video feed on their planes just saying few have actually used that video feed to fly the plane out of direct line of site. Now I fully understand that being a member of AMA is not compulsory to flying model planes and people are alloud to do as they choose, up to untill they hurt someone or damage property. So this being said, how in the heck is this discusion board even here?

I am in the USAF (no, i'm not a pilot) and I have seen Preditors, Shadows and the Global Hawks up close and personal and often feel I have the wrong job. Then I think to myself that the Air Force would likely frown on me taking there Preditor down and dirty in a knife edge pass over the insurjents while I fire off a Hellfire anyway. So, I'm interested in this but wonder how or if we can apply this kind of flying and stay within the perameters of the AMA. Now do not misread me. It is my desire to say within the guidlines of the AMA and I am in no way saying that anyone else must.
