Bob<br>The Radio Control Club of Detroit is supposed to be holding a electric fly-in tomorrow. (75 plus pilots) The clubs flying field landed just a couple miles <b>out</b> of the no fly zone.<br>It looks the weather will keep us from flying not Air Force One.<br>

based on the current use of unmanned aircraft in military operations.
Obviously, there’s a significant difference between the Predator and
other similar “models” compared to what’s being flown at the
typical R/C field, but that’s where the imaginative part comes in. OTOH,
we’ve all heard reports of suspicious persons inquiring on learning to
fly R/C.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I guess what I am struggling with is using a mechanism
design for full-scale aviation and thinking it will be effective for model
aircraft. What about the father-son (or mom or daughter) who goes out
tomorrow morning to fly something they picked up at the toy store, and would
not know the AMA from AAA or the AKC. At one extreme nothing will happen. At
the other they will be treated as a terrorist threat.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the rant. This just seems so much like corporate management
thinking. <br>
