    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    You are not allowed to fly an uncertified aircraft for compensation. Also the aircraft must be flown by a pilot that is certified to fly that specific type of craft and is current with both skills, and medical certification. Who is also responsible to know and follow every single FAA reg to the...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    I don't see how an exemption to fly model aircraft for compensation will every happen. It hasn't ever been legal, and I don't how the AMA has any chance of making that happen. If it was me, I would only do demo flights at closed fields where risk is limited. I think the spirit hobby flying...

    I finally got my da5o lined out. I bought it used, and the carb needed rebuilding, the reeds were bad, the exhaust had leaks and made a huge mess on the cylinder. New everything, and a good tune up, she seems to run much better. I am not ripping the prop static (22x8 XOAR sword) ill get it to...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    Lets say as a vendor I want to pay you for your time to disuss my new prototype. This is legal. Then I invite you to an airfield and set up a camera, set up a plane, and handed you the radio. You have broken no laws. Now I record your flight, and ask you for a model release to protect myself...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    Actually when a person shoots video, they own the copyright. They are not paying you for it, they own it the moment its created. The use of it might be in question depending on many factors. If they want to compensate you for your time that is legal. It could be fee for consulting. You just...

    I think they will find a ton of problems with this program.

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    Yep this is where the legal system gets real expensive to individuals. The FAA interpretation doesn't make it law, however when the FAA enforces it's interpretation it's up to the people facing charges to get good lawyers who can win against the wrong doing. It's all about money and control in...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    Let me play the devils advocate for a moment. So are you saying that the 2012 law completely overrides existing FAA regs? I thought is said they could not create new laws. The FAA isn't creating new laws, they are interpreting the 2012 laws and planning to enforce laws that existed prior to the...

    First VPP F3P Freestyle Plane Build

    Well this project is taking forever because building Depron models is tedious work, and FancyFoam doesnt even offer a set of instructions for this model. It says clearly that it comes with written instructions but it doesn't. Mike from FancyFoam says to just use the MX2 instructions, but they...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    FAA approved GPS that is certified for IFR is like 10 grand. One radio to do GPS approaches cost more than most peoples whole RC collection. Airplane stuff is ridiculous expensive and why I no longer own any planes. Hell the hangar fees alone ran me out of being a plane owner. I have built and...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    This is all going to change so much over the next 5 years. I would not worry about anything just yet. Just be respectful and follow AMA guidelines at AMA fields, and don't do stupid stuff that's is going to bring negative media attention to multirotors. You see helis have had the abiltiy to do...

    SegevDesign ARTiculate freestyle biplane - design by Ido "DoDo" Segev

    Looking at the website, it lists Redwing RC as the distributor in the USA. Also it says they ship directly from the factory. . In the power combos, there are two prices, $360 and $380 how much is it without the power combo? The page is a bit confusing, is it bought direct, or via a distributor?

    32" MXS-C! Backyard insanity!

    I set my MXS-C up on 2S and after some KE mixing I like this plane much much better. That explosive power is gone, but to me the plane feel more locked in. It is most likely my skill level, because on 3S things happen very quickly and I cant keep up sometimes. Also full power down lines on 3S...
