an inappropriate place or out of line of

If you followed AMA guidelines there would be no issues with either and should
be more than welcome at any AMA field as long as the AMA and field rules are
followed. <br>
Heck, I would love to get a look through FPV goggles while flying :)<br>

Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] FAA Registration begins December 21 <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Good post John, thanks. When I posted about people
registering their pleasure craft, etc. someone clarified it happens at the
State level. With so many municipalities feeling challenged by drone
issues, cities banning drones, and State Legislatures circulating bills about
stuff they don’t completely understand, we may be better off with the FAA
(flame away). Will be difficult to appreciate today, but the NAS is not for
local or State governments to legislate or regulate; and if we are registered
to operate our UAS for recreational purposes in the NAS, then the locals cannot
legally revoke that privilege. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>True, local governments have recourse to other laws or
zoning ordinance, and our neighbors have recourse to zoning boards and torts if
they are aggrieved, but with federal registration in hand we are recognized as
recreational UAS users. That may help our larger cause if some of the
more onerous local or State legislation falls off the docket, and registration
averts more towns or cities from bothering with bans. After all, they all
have police forces and what is the most common phrase that we hear police
officers say?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Could be the most common cop talk we are familiar with,
right? I think a lot of guys in the RC hobby are under the misconception
that enforcement will be by FAA, or that they will see local FSDO guys
patrolling RC fields. That’s not how it goes IMO. The most probably
scenarios involve a visit from local law enforcement, wether or not an incident
has occurred or a neighbor complaint is valid. To date, police officers
could have a look around, ask some questions, meet some RC club members, take
some notes and move on unless something truly crazy was observed. There
was nothing for them to ask or enforce: Not anymore.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Soon they can politely ask us for our registration and as it
has already been pointed out, if we cannot produce registration there is
already a problem. We can protect ourselves from this most probable of
encounters by registering and taking this violation opportunity off the table.
While I get the desire for some inspired to pursue the course of civil
disobedience, history show that those who do so for a cause they treasured were
willing to accept the consequences of running afoul the authorities. The
collective case we can and must make is to demonstrate at the local level that
the RC hobby can be enjoyed responsibly and is not a danger or threat to our
communities. All politics is local guys, we must hold our ground and win
locally, individually! <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Just as an interesting trivia factoid that adds to the mosaic
of all this…Last week the Albany County Legislature (Albany, New York),
introduced a bill that was to ban all radio control flying in Albany County. At
the hearing, the legislators discovered (thanks to a standing-room only showing
of local R/C clubs) that not all radio control models were "dangerous
drones", and the bill will very likely be shelved. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Sooner or later the local FAA FSDO will get bored with
sitting at the R/C field and figure out that the GoPro-totin' drone that crashed
into a car on Main Street wasn't mainstream AMA, and that the local clubs don't
host drone rave parties at their monthly meetings.<o:p></o:p></p>

<pre>Keith,I’ll simply say that I think you’re selling our AMA leadership short in the effort that has been put forth to work WITH the FAA and to protect our rights as modelers. I don’t know how involved you’ve been so I’ll stop short of calling your comments ignorant, but they are clearly both inconsiderate of their efforts and personally attacking… without merit.I’ve had no shortage of complaints and disagreements with the AMA over the years, and even with our current leaders (Bob and Dave and board) over various issues. But I don’t think publicly disparaging their efforts is ever warranted, and on this subject in particular, it’s just erroneous. They have worked diligently on this effort, including funding lobbying efforts in <o:p></o:p></pre><pre> DC and their results have been quite good. This is a VERY minor setback and one that they’re working aggressively to mitigate. The FAA is reacting to public pressure to “do something”, and the voice of 150,000 toy airplane enthusiasts is only going to have so much weight, ESPECIALLY when the reality is…it doesn’t affect us. Yes, we can scream civil liberties and slippery slope and all the other NRA worries, but it’s toy airplanes. Those aren’t real worries until people are actually doing damage with our toys.Let’s support our AMA. They’re us. They’re modelers. They’re friends.Rant over…-MarkOn Dec 15, 2015, at 2:06 PM, Keith Hoard via NSRCA-discussion > wrote:If the AMA had any ballz they would tell the FAA to go pack sand and budget for their own advertising campaign.

The LVRCS still does, but we now permit members to wear their membership cards if they don’t want to use the board. Someone who wants to borrow an identity, copy or steal an AMA card, can just stroll up to the box: No need for someone to help one of us find parts to a downed model, it’s that simple today to grab a name and number of someone who is reputable in the hobby to hide behind.

href="http://clubs.%0d%0ade/">clubs.De</a>cades ago when I was training for my Priv<o:p></o:p></pre><pre> ate Pilot ticket we still had the large registration numbers, N numbers, on general aviation planes. Every instructor had stories about the one little old lady who called the police every time she saw a low flying aircraft overhead. While the pilot in question may have been in fact at a legal altitude/separation per the FARs, that did not stop those nuisance calls. When the police came to ask around in these stories, nothing ever came of the complaints as the pilots, operators, etc. all had their documents in order and were flying responsibly. Just crank calls that burdened the cops, resulting no problems for the flight school. What I am getting at is if and when our neighbor calls around about activity at our clubs, should the locals come around asking, we will have all our documents in order. If asked, like John suggests, we can produce registration. End of story.OTOH, if neighbors complain and local authorities cannot establish that club members are operating within guide<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>l<o:p></o:p></pre><pre> ines, there could be more questions than the situation would otherwise merit. That is the more likely scenario in my mind than bad actors stealing my identity to fly drones badly. We might want to worry more about the mundane stuff like that than the more elaborate scenarios?Respectfully/anonymously (LOL),DanaOn Dec 15, 2015, at 8:01 AM, Ed Alt via NSRCA-discussion > wrote:That should work for the most part.

By registering the pilot and not having unique identification numbers for each model that are assigned to an owner, it sets up the scenario for anyone else to use your number on their model and cause virtually unlimited problems for you, anywhere, anytime. To help reduce this risk, at the very least, the numbers would have to be provided by the FAA with some sort of marking, holography, whatever to at least raise the difficulty of identity theft from zero to something above zero. You can apparently use a felt marker to scribble your own numbers as it stands <a

The AMA field flyers are the least of the FAA's worries and we're blowing it out of proportion. Yes, it's a stupid regulation, but let's comply where we can and show ourselves to be the responsible modelers the AMA says we <a
