<p class="MsoNormal">Since that time our group has been decimated and the process has become more formalized (procedures & quals), to the point that no one uses them much anymore, so they sit in the M&TE Tool Room. No FAA license required in SC for indoor use,
check your state for applicable laws.<o:p></o:p></p>
