Ira I might agree with you if the FAA didn't post this information directly. They not only posted the info in the policy document they even went so far as to clarify it for us and some still don't believe it.
------
The FAA recognizes that people and companies other than modelers might be flying UAS with the mistaken understanding that they are legally operating under the authority of AC 91-57. AC 91-57 only applies to modelers, and thus specifically excludes its use by persons or companies for business purposes.
Your are right they did make it clear, to me in that statment they are talking about
UAS otherwise known as UAV's not us in the model community in any case we can argue
this till next year my advice to all who read this is if you want to be regulated
by the FAA then contact them and set it up. As for me im not going to worry about
the FAA.
