I gots a stupid question. Some aren't but most of these so far are line of sight and operated just as a radio controlled plane. What's the difference. FAA doesn't watch over RC step by step.
I have never seen any reports of RC aircraft meniousing commercial air traffic nor operating at 4500 ft. Perhaps the government should limit the transmission range of drones to between 500 ft to 1000 ft.
