[NSRCA-discussion] Altitude limits

[Archie Stafford]

This is kind of the gray area where R/C is concerned with the FAA.  The
actual wording is 400' within 3 miles of an airport without consent from the
airport.  Outside 3 miles unless you are in an approach path we really
aren't limited.  That is straight from the mouth of an FAA rep that we had
in our class last year in Del Rio.  I will find the specific regulation and
attach it shortly.  You can actually work with the airport even if you aren
in the pattern to raise this if needed and it is safe.

It was always my understanding that we were never supposed to exceed 400 ft
and that full scale aircraft were to stay above 500ft.  But I'm not sure
where that's written...
