Default RE: longest range

I currently own quite a bit of equipment from rangevideo.com, so I am aware of both their stated specs and actual use.
I am very aware of FPV flight and different record breaking flights.

I don't know where you got the inpression this was somply outdated policy... it's the law.

As to the FAA and Transport Ccanada regs, I worry they are becoming more restrictive at the moment.

Govt does not trust any R/C aircraft flying without direct line of site... pending legislation is in fact going to make that even harder.
Even as the use of UAVs has increased exponentially in the military, hobby use is being legislated out and commercial use is being carefully restricted and licensed.

I subscribe to DIYDrones.com as a site where fellow flyers and experimenters work to economically increase range to unlimited, but hope the Feds don't come knockin' some day.
