[NSRCA-discussion] Matt Finley ( F3A Moving Forward )

[Peter Vogel]

I would push for the FAA designating a class "R" airspace where RC aircraft
can fly to some reasonable altitude (1000'?  Gliders sometimes go past
this) which would be designated over the 30-60 acre area in front of the
Flightline of an AMA club field... and appear on sectionals for full-scale
aircraft.
