Actually, I don't think there is any limit to the weight of a legal
R/C airplane. On the other hand, you will need to keep it in sight
to maintain control, and (frankly) I have always found it a lot
easier to fly from the cockpit than from the ground with a transmitter.
On the subject of instructors in the plane during phase I testing, I
am sure this is a no no. I have heard of examples where the
inspector/DAR has approved a two man crew for testing but this would
need to be approved on a case by case basis. The only times I have
heard of this it was a husband and wife team.

Heck, with a wireless camera, an RC transmitter and the right servos why
send a pilot up at all? (just like that recent video of the RC plane with
the camera in it) But I guess it is illegal to test fly an 800 pound RC
airplane.
