Gordon,
I found them. Actually I am glad this topic came up, because it made me re-read the rules that govern us. They can be found here:
http://www.modelaircraft.org/PDF-files/510-A.pdf
It's usually a good idea to study and review the rules we fly by once and a while, because we tend to forget some of them. I actually was able to answer a few questions I had about some other stuff I was wondering about so I am glad you enticed me to do some investigating.
One thing I discovered/un-forgot is that 200MPH is a hard limit. I wonder how many times a day that gets broken?
Anyway...the rules are at the link for all to see.

Gordon,
I'm really not talking about insurance...I was more curious as to where the rule was that exactly says you can not fly a jet unless you have a turbine waiver. Using your logic...how could anyone ever pass a waiver check since they are supposed to do it "solo"?

I'm not just talking about insurance either - I'm talking about the fact that the AMA says you can't opt-out of following the rules when you want to, and the AMA's stated ability to revoke your membership for busting rules even when you thought you didn't have to because "I was on private property" / "I didn't want the AMA's insurance, I was using my own that day" / any other opt-out excuse you want to consider.
The waiver demo is written into the AMA rules, therefore if you do what they tell you to you are not busting the rules. ... and it's not MY logic, it's theirs (twisted though it may be).
