I don't think it's useless at all. Because the more the AMA antagonizes the FAA, the more likely stricter rules will be put into place. And if push comes to shove, the next budget bill that passes...

The real problem here, is that there is NO RISK TO THE OPERATOR of the drone. Therefore, safety measures are not as likely to be adhered to by the owner of a model plane, like on a full scale...

I've got another question: What if you have an ARF, never assembled, in its original box. No radio, no engine, nothing to make it flyable. Just the air frame alone. Does that have to be...

Quads are becoming widely available, for practical reasons. People simply want to view their locations from a different vantage point. There are some big differences between a quad, and other types...

Looks like the AMA is being let off the hook. So that 50% Extra with the 250cc multi-cylinder is safe!

And much of this is what gives me pause, when the media directs its attention specifically to the quads with cameras. I have seen my share of AMA fields, where the members are there to do nothing...

FPV, line of sight, or not. A drone is still capable of flying at altitudes of several hundred feet, while still remaining visible without aids. I once flew a model rocket that was not much larger...

I don't think there will be a way to differentiate between a traditional RC plane and a drone. Both use a transmitter and receiver, and both can be equipped with a camera. And they can have the...

I would have no problem with it. Even if it's an OS .55AX powered Great Planes Extra 300SP. Flying a model airplane, like driving a car, is a privilege. Not a right.
