Fly the AMA's guidelines and your good.
- Call airports within range
No FPV without a buddy box
No loss of LOS
Avoid flying DIRECTLY over crowds
No flights more than 400 ft agl
And remember, if you do get busted, it very likely could have been a "fly away", which is out of your control and not reckless. Read these boards and that's a believable story. It sounds like a crap-load of them smash into something, or go out of control or simply fly away and crash somewhere, at least a few times a week.
Safe sane FPV needs a really compelling argument to avoid becoming history.. Hope someone thinks of one quick.
The 3 miles out, blind, on a hacked ground station mission needs a really, really good argument.
They can and will crucify you for flying over 400ft and endangering the National Airspace System, no argument will save you there. You may want to edit a few video posts, Gents. God forbid you are a licensed pilot (certificate holder), that guarantees stiffer penalties because the FAA says they should know better.
Doing commercial work? Better not. Commercial work is going to be an expensive proposition, as it clearly states you will no longer be considered an amateur operator with a model craft. Done. They will iron out something, but it is going to be expensive and a long process to get certified, with even greater restrictions.
My wife will make me miserable if Iget a $10,000 fine. Then again, so will the fine. I just joined the AMA. I was going to make up my own national organization (

Good luck, everyone.
