Academy Of Model Aeronautics Warns About Heavy Restrictions Coming From Washington
The Academy of Model Aeronautics tells ANN that the FAA is set to place "heavy restrictions" on the hobbyists who fly model aircraft.

I agree with your concerns about the AMA.
What would be worse than the FAA making regulations? A bunch of non-Govt, uncontrolled amateurs making up their own laws and making $100M/year from it. I trust the AMA leadership as far as I can throw a 747.
400' altitude has been the polite request of the FAA for 30 years per AC 91-57.
I said that if everyone ignores AC 91-57 it will eventually end up being mandatory. Guess what might happen.?
