Thanks for your input on this subject.

If they get their certificate andoperate at 2100 feet, I presume that my
responsibility continues tobe see-and-avoid.

What is theirs?

Probably just NOTAM their activities just like para or glider ops do,I
suppose????


I wasn't aware glider operations were NOTAMed. In any event, while
regulations do grant gliders right of way over airplanes, they do not
remove the glider pilot's responsibility to see-an-avoid. And an
airplane pilot has a chance of spotting a glider in time to take
evasive action.

That approach would probably work for low density operations, but I
can foresee these cheap little UAVs becoming as thick as a swarm as
Black Flies in the future.
