Default RE: here is ONE UN-USED AMA membership card!

I feel that AMA doesn't offer the leadership that it should. Particularly, I think they should be the driving force in our hobby for standards for interchangeability. Why do we have so many engine and motor shaft sizes, servo mounting dimensions, splines on servos, motor mounting dimensions, etc? Why aren't all these parts interchangeable?

I used to belong to the National Railroad Model Association. Their book of published standards in inches thick! They demonstrate leadership.

Model Aviation is full of pictures of people. I'm a model airplane enthusiast. If I wanted to see pictures of people, I'd subscribe to People Magazine!

Now we have proliferation of all kinds of ARFs that can be flown anywhere, by anybody, without regard to AMA membership and any type of understanding of radio interference. How many lawsuits will it take before that problem is addressed?
