[AlaskaRC] FAA looking at possibly regulating model aircraft

[Marty Hall]

One place to watch is the Federal Register on line. If you sign up 
for it you'll get a whole LOT of stuff in the form of a list that 
does not pertain to this, or even FAA, but if you scroll down to the 
FAA section and watch for this and any thing else your interested in, 
you can read first hand what the FAA is saying. I subscribe to this 
at work and I guess I will here at home... being semi-retired (Darn! 
;-)) I only work a couple days a week and might miss it... If some 
thing pops up, I'll try to remember o post it here.
