I agree that's the case right now. I wonder if that is going to change as the AMA tries to convince the FAA that the AMA can police the rules for model airplanes in the face of the new regulation activity - brought on the SUAS initiative that Dave Mathewson talks about all the time in his Model Aviation column? Seems like its going to be hard for them to say to the FAA "we'll police ourselves" and then turn around to the membership (clubs) and say "go police yourselves as you see fit..."

Bob,
Yep! But I also believe the AMA expects full adherence and anticipates only absolute management of all rules, policies and continual discipline.

That's what holds it together!!

Whats so experimental about any of these jets anyway? If its a production jet there is nothing experimental about it. They should change the name from experimental to extra large or something.

I thought all FEJ were experimental.
Just Kidding!!!

Then we'll have to have to start 2 minute wake turbulence separations between take offs....

Gotta be tough to fly the heavies! [8D]

Don't think that will happen,After reading AMA 520 A sec.4 it will be VERBOTEN for any 55+ pound aircraft to depart or arrive at Sun Valley ...[]

Jimbo,

It would be "Hornet 18 Heavy"...heavy comes after the call sign...
