I dont think the FAA will go that far... ( i hope not )

From what I under stand from talking with the FAA, there big worry is safety..
Like a incident that happen not to long ago here in my state.. a person put a Cam and stuff in a large RC model. and did try to fly it over a Power station. and he all so flew in to the path of a King air that was on final approach for landing.. ( from what the King air pilot told me it was close ) after the Cop's and FAA track down the Owner of the RC model his explanation was " i was looking at my Feed plots for Hunting Dear. " thats the kinda stuff the FAA is worry about and I feel Needs to get a handle on things... anyways.. will see what happens over the next few years.. but for now I will keep going threw the process ( its a pain in the butt ) to do what my customers need for there UAV's..
