Let's join together and refuse the FAA registration
#78
There is no doubt the multiplicity of terms is causing confusion. If it's designed to fly in the NAS, is controlled by a link from the ground, it is an UAS. Further, I do believe the FAA has already settled the issue that our RC aviating machines are indeed aircraft. This is one of the crucial issues surrounding the interpretation of Sec 336 of the 2012 FAA Modernization Act that the modeling community thought made us exempt from FAA meddling.
I care and not only that I carry a copy with me and will politely hand it to the first person that asks for "my papers"

if you fight this then you are falling in the grip of the FAA to say we are all not law abiding and a bunch of rogues , we don't want or need that!!!! that could give them the right to impose more strict rules on us , think about this !!!

AMA is the only CBO that is accepted by the FAA they provide our safety rules that have been established and they provide our insurance , and you must belong to AMA to fly at sanctioned fields and all should belong to AMA that fly anything , we have 3 fields we fly ay and they are all about 30 to 50 min away GAMA CMJ and our private field in Ivey which you must have AMA to fly at any

This is the very reason why we have so many laws on the books that go unenforced. Good, law-abiding people stand by and let the government walk all over them with unnecessary regulations that do nothing but pad someone's pocket book. The modeling community has a proven track record for safety and we have made the FAA very aware of our position on this issue. They chose to ignore us against all reason and common sense. Now, we have no other choice but to stand up and take our modeling futures into our own hands; just like they did with CB radios in the 70's.

I haven't signed it yet so it dont apply to me" all smug like , cause come springtime your gonna have to be registered and have agreed to the 400 foot limit in the process , or be ready to cough up 250K to uncle sam when you get caught flying a UAS without registration

The AMA was trying to get it so you would have to be a AMA member to not be regulated by the FAA thats what the CBO language in the bill 336 was about. IMO neither the AMA nor the FAA has the right to force
anyone to join a certain org in order to fly RC or be exempt from FCC regulation.

Not registering certainly does not exempt anyone from obeying the law.

At present there is no 400 foot rule except near airports.

The truth is that the AMA did everything they possibly could [and then some] to secure our frequencies and there is nothing wrong with being thankful for that.
Trying to make it sound like you endorse bribery, but HE never would under any circumstances is pathetic.
I'll bet if his Mother was locked up in a Mexican jail he would re-think his sanctimonious stance on bribery without blinking.

And every single time you keep posting this incorrect information , I WILL be here to post the rebuttal ! Sport , first off , you said some months ago that your not presently flying model aircraft . You are here for the talking points only . No problem , I know of NO requirement to be a "presently active flyer" to post to RCU .
BUT !
Common courtesy to the folks who read these posts is to provide the TRUTH , not shrouded in your whimsy , conjecture , and flat out purposeful misinterpretation of the statute as presently written !
You , telling people your LIE about the 400 foot limit very well COULD cause someone who reads that lie to get themselves in a whole world of trouble should something bad happen at 8 or 9 hundred feet . The person involved will , naturally , point out YOUR dozens of posts where you proclaim as fact that the 400 foot limit doesn't exist . Now's your chance to go getting all lawyer here on me , BUT , you damned well know that encouraging folks to break a law , when you have been told repeatedly here that your wrong and so there is proof that you've been informed of your flawed position , will most certainly put you in the same type of risk as one who yells "FIRE !" in a crowded theater when no fire exists . You are , by "playing expert" with something you obviously haven't researched very well , knowingly enticing others to commit a crime (and YES Sport , knowingly disobeying ANY federal agency is a crime , whether you abhor that agency or not !)
Continue to spread your lie at your own peril , this post will serve notice of you having been informed of your "mistake" , now it's up to you to knock off the foolishness and stop giving out false info .
To be continued , I'm sure ........
