In this months issue of Popular Mechanics, the FAA is issuing a new drivers license like pilots license for a new set of small 50k like airplanes. small ready to fly airplanes for 50k. get your license in 20 hours of study and some flight.
their quote when asked about terror uses, "the FAA considers the risk from small aircraft to be very minimal and a reasonable risk"
ok, then the risk from rockets is even smaller, what the heck is going on here ? (stronger words deleted while I hit the roof)
One one hand, the Batfe clamps down on hobby rockets, and the FAA open up RTF 50k suv like airplanes ready to fly for the money.
this is crazy, not the small airplanes, those are just fine; but the clamping down on hobby rockets. Someone somewhere pissed somebody off.
guess I'm going to get a second 30 year on the house and buy a RTF small plane. I can't spend the money after I'm gone I figure.
