[NSRCA-discussion] Be Vigilant

[Bob Kane]

Well, at least the media is now quoting the AMA's Greg Hahn on the practical limitations of using an RC plane to do any real damage. . . . .hopefully the general public and more importantly our governmental representatives  will hear what he is saying.

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……
