[NSRCA-discussion] Altitude limits

[chris moon]

Jim:  I'm guessing they are trying to keep you below the minimum 
altitudes for full scale planes, and certainly a reaction to the mid-air 
the other day in L.A.
Full scale minimum requirements (except when taking off or landing) are 
1000 feet above the ground or highest obstacle within 2000 feet 
horizontally within populated areas or 500 feet above the ground in 
lightly populated areas.  In unpopulated areas it is 500 feet from any 
person, object or vehicle with no minimum altitude.
