[MT-ALES] Stupid FAA

[Carl A Thuesen]

Scott,

As you know, your field is already loosely affiliated with the Flying Mustangs (BFM), since they are the sponsor club for the field insurance.

I have generally discussed continuing this relationship with BFM president Randy Broderick earlier this year.  No problem from the BFM standpoint if you want to proceed on that basis.

If you would rather form a new club, I’m down with that too.  As a kid, I was a founding member of the Sussex County Unlimited Modelers, so your acronyms are right on!

I agree, it is not going away.  Unfortunately, I think it will only get worse and truly frogged up, as only the government can do.  The worst part is that the offenders will continue to offend undeterred.  Only the "good guys” will be burdened with these onerous regulations IMHO.

Scott,
  Yea, I think that’s right.  When I made the MESS club it was just for the FRIA reason.  This will also help get a higher altitude than 400’ once it’s all set in place.  The only worry I have for your field is the proximity to Columbus airport and perhaps they may balk at a 2,000’ ceiling. 
As far as getting a club sanction that was so easy I couldn’t believe it.  I was always under the impression it was very difficult and time consuming but that’s not the case.
Any help I can be please don’t hesitate to ask.
Curtis

Just read an AMA article about the new FAA UAS registration stuff.  Looks to me that we need to set up a "CBO' - community based organization so we can have a FRIA - Federal Recognized Identification Area.  They have yet to define a CBO nor the method to get a FRIA.  AMA says they are planning to apply for FRIAs for AMA sanctioned clubs once the FAA gets its head out of..To me this means that we need to set up a club or be an annex to the Flying Mustangs.  Some possible names come to mind, Columbus Ultimate Soaring Society Easy Relaxed Sages, or maybe Original Lucky Dedicated    Fragile Ales Retired Turd Scroungers.  Well, anyhow, I think were gonna have to do something along those lines.  If I understand correctly you don't need the identification module in your model if it's line of sight.  I nominate Carl for President and Treasurer.  I don't think this is gonna go away.
