RE: Question about the 400 foot limit.
So STL, what's your experience with the FAA and FAR's? May I tell you that the FAA or FAR's do not apply to model avaition until you become within 5nm of a controlled airport/airspace? That may change, now that we have payload capable aircraft. Hmmm, maybe we screwed ourselves?! Our large turbine powered cargo models now look like the real thing. Think about where we are going. Yes, you are correct in the dangerous territory aspect. Hmmm...I thought I would never agree with model planes being a threat, but here I sit thinking about it...
Anyone else think the same way? Maybe we should limit the capabilities of our hobby? No, that is fascism and running scared. So, what do we do? Now is the time for the AMA to lobby. Naw, they won't do that either well maybe they will, let's see.
