That Toy Is Now a Drone, Says the FAA
http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/aerospace/aviation/that-toy-is-now-a-drone-says-the-faa
"In the meantime, the FAA's small-drone-policing empire is striking
back. This week's FAA notice not only reiterates the FAA's position
that the definition of model aircraft requires that the flying be only
for recreation, the agency now asserts that the operator must be
looking directly at the model in flight, not piloting it with video
goggles or other other high-tech vision aids. By logical extension,
that must mean that flying a video-camera-equipped model airplane or
copter using, say, an iPad screen or a video monitor of any type makes
it no longer fit the FAA's definition of a model aircraft."
