My understanding is that RC planes have been mostly ignored in the regulations because the community is so small. If quadrotors enable a massive explosion in hobbyist R/C flight it changes the story. The few drones flying right now aren't the issue - it's what happens now that they're on the verge of becoming so cheap and accessible. I know a lot of people with reasonably high power Phantoms that never would have considered R/C planes before.

My uncle used to be an avid R/C plane enthusiast (even has a small R/C only airfield named after him). Built and flew decent sized aircraft for decades, even put video on quite a few. But damn if they aren't hard to fly.
