[NSRCA-discussion] Be Vigilant

[Mark Atwood]

Same here... A thousand questions.  

Our only saving grace is that this was not a "line of sight" controlled model as we fly them, but rather a hobby model modified to fly from GPS coordinates more like a military drone.  Still, this will only cause more scrutiny on the FAA bill.  Not good.

M U N C I E - The Academy of Model Aeronautics is shocked and outraged by the actions of a 26-year-old Massachusetts man arrested this week on federal charges for his intent to use an RC model airplane reconfigured as a UAV, similar to a military drone, for an explosive-laden attack on the U.S. Capitol and Pentagon. The suspect is not an AMA member nor has he been confirmed as being a model aviation enthusiast……
 
This is the wrong time for crap like this what with all the attention by the FAA……
