I wrote Dave Brown concerning this issue. Here is his reply. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
This is news(?) to me???? I doubt if there is any foundation, but I'll look into it. The only part with any POSSIBLE validity, is the "no autonomous flight", as this has been discussed as a possible reaction to security threats. "No new experimental aircraft"????? You would hear the hue and cry from EAA so loud it would deafen you, and I haven't heard a peep out of them.

Be cautious about dismissing this issue out of hand. I'd encourage you to go back to the August 2002 issue of Model Aviation and read Dave Brown's and Bob Hunt's columns. They both talk about the potential for further government regulation of model aviation arising out of 9-11 related concerns about the misuse of model technology. Especially autopilot or autonomous control systems. While I have no special knowledge or insight about what may be happening, what Mark has related is entirely within the realm of possibility.
