FAA Drone Changes

[tcope]

OK, I'll rephrase it. Can anyone specifically confirm that the repeal of section 336 means that there is currently no altitude limit for hobby (recreational) drone flight? Some people on this forum have stated that this is indeed the case and I would like to know for sure if they are correct.

There is no limbo or question as to what rules currently apply in the US. Section 336 currently applies and that does not have a 400' limit. So currently there is no limit, other then you need to fly in a safe manner. This will change soon to a 400' limit above ground or above a nearby structure. This is already written into the new law... it just has not taken effect yet.
