"This may not seem significant, but it could become so. The FAA
doesn't give the impression that it wants to regulate model airplanes,
but it does have responsibility for all of the navigable airspace in
the United States, and we fly in that airspace.

Do you? Are model airplanes generally flown above 500' AGL?

Depends on the modeler and the model.

I would say that on most flights I get above 500' AGL at least
some of the time.

You might notice that the NOTAM in question assumes that
the FAA can ban model flights altogether, regardless of the
altitude. It may be overreaching, but I don't have the money
to take them to court to prove that it is.
