<font size=3>Hey, Arch, that's good news!!! We modelers are really
not a threat to anyone ('cept maybe ourselves -- still recovering from 2
fingers into an APC prop last spring).

This is not an FAR. I am working very closely with the FAA on airspace
integration for the Navy and have asked this exact question and several
high up people told me the same thing. It is only advisory and not
enforceable. They are working on new FARs but they also told me they
understand the difference between UAS (the new term for UAv) and model
aircraft. They are also very happy with how the AMA has worked with
them. I really dont see great changes coming for our community. <br><br>
