Gentlemen,
 
This article was published in USA Today.  It doesn't really affect us as Pattern folk but it is something we should be cognizant of as well as be on the lookout at our local fields for.  The main thing is that the FAA is allowing FPV flight but not outside of visual range.  I've seen many many people take their quad copters far beyond visual range.  Big fines can happen for sure.
