Re: [RCSE] High Altitude Glider

[Ben Diss]

It does have some legal power as it show the "intent" of the FAA.  
Judges can use these when interpreting FARs.  Still, there is no FAR 
that regulates models so I'm not sure any of this matters.  In any 
event, if you are not a FAA licensed pilot or an airplane owner the FAA 
has no means of enforcing anything against you.

Jim,
Yes - that is the document I was referring to. Note that it is dated 1981. It 
is an advisory only and not a FAR --  i.e. it has no legal power.
You are violating no FAA regulations regardless of where you fly a model 
aircraft.
