Default RE: A Conversation with Dave Mathewson Concerning PPP

So thinking that AMA can pass a rule and it is going to happen is just not real world.
yeah, you see what this is leading to:
you want a law to stop others from doing what you do,
or, the classic AMA is above the law attitude.

You want to dictate what public freqs others can use, via the FCC,
while being exempted from that yourself.

You are trying to install a law on a type of plane,
yet not have it applied by plane type
but rather by WHO is making it.

Would an electric foam model aircraft be required to be on these special freqs in your plan?
It seems your answer is Theirs yes, ours no.
Would I have to stop putting my freq in FFF planes I make, and use your mandated PF Freq for it?
Or do I get exempted from this law due to AMA/AMA* Above The Lawliness?


And good luck trying to get the FCC to ask the FAA
what the difference is between a Model Aircraft and a ParkFlyer
so they can write up just who the law applies to
... heck even we cant get a simple binding definition of what a Model Aircraft is .
