Assuming it works as advertised.
Here's a discussion of the system in the Jets forum.

Notice the real time info available, such as altitude. Wonder if the FAA will pick up on this type of system, as a way to enforce the 400' rule. In case of a problem, we can say in our defense: "I really don't know how high the model is." With this type of system, there will be no excuses or defenses.
Time will tell.

The FAA doesn't have a 400 foot rule. They RECCOMEND flying under 400 feet. They have no regulation requiring you to do so. If it wasn't for people in the AMA trying to make an issue of it the FAA may have never written the AC.

Given that the FAA wrote AC 91-57 in June of 1981 I am amused that you can look back in time and cast the "blame" onto the AMA. What events do you think the AMA percipitated in 1981 - 25 years ago, that made the FAA write the AC??

wow, the topic was killed off really quick this time.
Guess we just needed a 3rd thread on AC91-57 in the first page of ama threads
along with 400' Limit, and 400' in Heavens Name How

I dont think is had been Alt Neutered by the FAA yet
unless you are too cheap to buy the altimiter optional sensor....
if you dont buy an altimeter, it is dumb to its alt as any other radio

Love the title of this tread! Frequency conflicts are an AMA problem! They are! If the AMA didn't have their collective power only heads in the sand there would have been intense support for developing an SS system to eliminate flying field frequency conflicts.
SS is going to eliminate any further "Save The Frequencies" crusades. No more canonizing of elder AMA members. No more bowing to Muncie. No more false gods.

With the kind of data this gizmo will send back, I wonder how far off heads down RC flying is. IR cam on the plane with instrumentation displays for night flying?
sorry, I know it must pain some folks to talk about the thread topic....
dont worry, trolls will send this thread to the dungheap all threads in the AMA forum end up
