I think the ones that are just out flying with no AMA rules are going to cause problems .
WOW!!! How do you come up with such stuff??? I would've guessed you knew that there have been people flying models ever since models have been flying without AMA... I was wrong... I guess you must feel model aviation will cease real soon, maybe tomorrow, since you now know the truth now.
Awesome, I love it!
there is only two reasons I have AMA
one is to be in a local club, and two I get killer deals at my LHS with it
other than that, AMA really does nothing that I'm aware of for me [:-]
because unless I am at a AMA event I have no coverage
Your Ama coverage (insurance) is good where ever you fly (if you have permission).

If you looked at his alt to the left on his screen you can see it go over 700 ft. I think its one of those lets see who can fly higher and farther away from where they are standing. When i was young and if this was out there who nows i could have been doing the same thing just for fun . joe

<h2><a name="208190"></a></h2><h1 id="message_view_subject">AVwebFlash: Thursday, February 21, 2013</h1><h2><a name="208190"><font face="arial,helvetica,geneva">FAA Moves Ahead On Drone Test Sites</font></a></h2> <p class="copy"></p><p class="copy"></p>

The FAA will move forward with plans to establish six test sites for unmanned aerial systems, Administrator Michael Huerta said on Friday. "We expect to learn how unmanned aircraft systems operate in different environments and how they will impact air traffic operations," he said. "The test sites will also inform the agency as we develop standards for certifying unmanned aircraft and determine necessary air traffic requirements." The site selections are expected by the end of September. Last November, Huerta had delayed the test-site selection, citing privacy concerns.</p><p class="copy"></p>

Proposals will be accepted from state and local governments, universities and other public entities to develop the six sites. In selecting the sites, the FAA said it will consider geographic and climatic diversity, infrastructure and research needs, population density and air traffic density. The FAA also said the program will "require ensuring that privacy is appropriately protected." The public is invited to review the proposed privacy policy (PDF) and comment on it. Michael Toscano, president of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, said the announcement is "an important milestone on the path toward unlocking the potential of unmanned aircraft, and creating thousands of American jobs." States across the country are eager to develop a test site, Toscano said, "because they recognize the incredible economic and job creation potential it would bring with it." AVweb's editorial director Paul Bertorelli recently explored the issue of the drone future; click here for his analysis.</p>

Here is a noob thats flying his over 700 ft naaaaaa nothing could go wrong here ! http://vimeo.com/52481958
Where do you get 700feet? I saw only 583feet.
Same observation here...but we all know how knee jerk reactions go...probably seemed like 10,000 feet to some jerks and they'd swear they seen an airbus full of Nuns fly by....

What difference does it make from AMA's perspective if it was 583 ft or 700 ft? He wasn't doing anything that would violate AMA rules. This is a privilege that AMA as CBO would sell if FAA acts to codify the 'voluntary' model aircraft Advisory Circular ceiling on altitude to 400' AGL.

good point...and I don't know if the pilot was even an AMA member...and that matters little too... Just trying to understand how some people look at things... Must be a frightful world for some...just driving down a nice shady avenue must bring immense fear, wondering whether or not a branch is fixing to fall and come through the windshield.

And then there are some of us who are not afraid of anything that swims walks or crawls but we keep a out a eye for things that could happen around us. Some wait till they get there stuff taken away and then say i should have seen that comming .

What's wrong with this flight except for the altitude question? How high would AMA rules allow him to fly?
As high as you can safely fly, unless it is near an aiport, then it is less than 400 feet. Don't let the naysayers get to you.

After you hit a full size aircraft its then kinda to late but go for it.

Awesome, I love it!
there is only two reasons I have AMA
one is to be in a local club, and two I get killer deals at my LHS with it
other than that, AMA really does nothing that I'm aware of for me [:-]
because unless I am at a AMA event I have no coverage
Your Ama coverage (insurance) is good where ever you fly (if you have permission).

You are misinformed...

For those that are worried about drones peaking in your bedroom window here is Al-Qaeda's list of tips to advoid drones. <div>

It is possible to know the intention and the mission of the drone by using the Russianmade “sky grabber†device to infiltrate the drone’s waves and the frequencies. The device is available in the market for $2,595 and the one who operates it should be a computer know-how.</p></div><div style=''color: rgb(40, 40, 40); font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 10px; '' class=''fourthPar''><p style=''margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.7em; padding-left: 0px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.48em; ''>2.

I see one of those pictures in my mind of a video shot from a drone that shows the drone looking at the cross hairs on a scope looking back at the drone!

only covered if your at an actual sanctioned AMA event [:-]
everything else you are on your own!
No, you are not on your own!
Copied from the 2013 membership manual;

Commercial General Liability Coverage
(Effective March 31, 2013)
The AMA Liability Protection applies to bodily injury or property damage
caused by an AMA member. It applies to accidents arising from
the modeling activities of model aircraft, rockets, cars, and boats, in
accordance with the AMA safety code(s).


There isn't any mention of requirements of being at a chartered club or a sanctioned AMA event for the coverage. In fact a scantioned event has extra coverage and a chartered club can buy extra coverage for the landowner but these are seperate from the member coverage.

Regards
Frank

A 'spy drone' flying over a private hunting reserve in NC by some loony animal rights fringe group got shot down. Since a pigeon hunt was underway, I presume a scatter gun was used......don't need no steenkin' scope.

I would love to know what % of those animal rights advocates are strict vegetarians [no eggs]...?
