Default RE: longer time in the air

ORIGINAL: alexedit
The reason why I am asking is because it wouldn't be regular flying, I will be flying really high and FPV - can't wait :-)
If you are an AMA member, or even if you are not, you should read their guidelines for FPV operations

The 'condensed' version is that a the plane must stay in the visual line of sight of the pilot. Flying beyond that potentially puts you in the UAV category whgich is highly regulated by FAA and probably other government agencies.
