Until the FAA gets ta humpin', they ain't no regulations for model airplanes with cameras. The laws are toothless, until I see club fields being operated like FBO's, asking for medical certificates.

As long as you are pursuing happiness for noncommercial reasons I support you. Just fly safely without endangering property or persons.

Are we expecting the FAA to leave the regulation and enforcement of all things model aviation up to the CBO or would the FAA want to set the guidelines for the CBO? Given the FAA's strict regulation of aviation, would we expect to see their influence in model aviation? I understand that the comparison between model aviation and civil/commercial aviation is not apples to apples if you will; however, I wonder if the FAA will see it that way? Should I expect to go through a certification process to fly my planes and will my planes need to have an air worthiness certificate? It's not my intention to be a jerk here. I'm truly curious. Or am I putting the cart before the horse?

The FAA has told us at AMA forums that they do not want to regulate model aviation. Instead, they just want us to fly responsibly according to a set of rules spelled out by the AMA. The AMA in turn has signed and agreement with the FAA that seems to express this concept.
Therefore, there will be no certifications, no licensing and even AMA membership is not required. So go on and have fun, safely and responsibly.
I do have a licensing scheme cooked up for LCS. He will pay me $200,000.00 for a license permit. After he passes an impossible written test, I will return $100,000.00 with a license scribbled on a used post-it note. If he wants to fly an aircraft of any kind, I will certify the airframe for a fee of $500,000.00 if he ships the aircraft to me and allows me to thoroughly inspect and test it for 6 months. After the tests have been completed. I will return the pieces of his aircraft along with an air-worthiness certificate written on a used post-it note.

JohnShe, Is shipping included in the 200,000 or is that to be paid by LCS and would he get a discount for disassemble prior to shipping the aircraft to you to you? My hope is that the FAA will not decide to change their mind on regulation. They have been known to do that. Though a certification process would not be a bad idea for me given my flying ability. Oh. I think a pink post it note would be the most appropriate color for the certificate. Just my opinion.

Here's some reading...they grow and grow...sound familiar?

really got to love this line...what it doesn't say is more important than what it does; All pertinent regulations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) shall be applicable."

As for your post-it notes, A new one will cost you $100,00.00 extra, your choice of color is another $100,000.00.

So is the nature of government. This is kind of my fear. Not to engage in a conspiracy theory or such, but there are plenty of examples of regulation going to extremes. The AMA Safety Code, as it exists, seems to cover safety pretty well. I fear that there will be an attempt to regulate for any eventuality or scenario. Not possible in my opinion. The internet is littered with videos of humans engaging in activities that end with a 911 call. Model aviation included. It is simply human nature. Good luck regulating that. I'm not sure it would be a stretch to see that same document with the title changed to all Model aircraft. I hope i'm wrong.
