Yes. Model airplanes in general are "too small" for them to bother with, as long as we don't create problems for them. They said as much (see full text of AC 91-57). Where they expect problems they enforce the law, to wit the situation with commercial use of model aircraft for AP. <snip>

So the FAA doesn't regulate small models? You've got to be kidding me. The UAS policy's are in place now and soon they will be part of the FAR, officially. The FAA has been doing quite a bit to set the standards for regulating RC aircraft,
which includes any commercial ops of RC aircraft.
As usual, you revved up your keyboard before reading and comprehending what I wrote, or you are purposely twisting what I said to keep another diversion from the thread topic going.
Would AMA void a member's liability insurance coverage if member accepted compensation for air show performances on a casual basis? I am quite convinced that FAA would take no action against the pilot, whether or not pilot is technically in violation of an FAA regulation, so leave FAA out of it. What would AMA do?
