Default RE: Is it time to revisit AMA safety code rule 4 ?:

And another good reason to exempt 2lb/60mph type park models, like 450 helis, from the rule, as the risk is demonstrably less.
I was thinking you'd exempt all control line model flying
(especially the 45mph 16oz cox049 models)
before you let the 500watt 60mph 2lb RC 'flying all over the place and maybe in your face' models be exempt

... are not models on a 30' leash safer to spectators
than an RC one that gets a failure while pointing at the bleachers going 60mph?

You talk about when the risk would be less to spectators,
yet forgot about nitro 1lb CL planes
