So what are FARs cover R/C aircraft (is there a weight or size threshold)?



The FAA accepts the Academy of Model Aeronautics definition of a recreational
model as weighing 55 lbs (dry, I think) and operating under 400' altitude
(a provision busted every day by all kinds of RC aircraft).


In an other post you stated the 400 ft AGL rule was only when you were
with in 3 miles of an airport.
