Could they perhaps establish an organization for RC modelers, based on the EAA operation, where the front end is a profit making establishment for income to management and a couple NFPs in the background in which to hide a lot of assets?
In addition all the items now furnished by AMA could be included. IMO, a great potential for those with the means to do so.

Hoss-
With that kind of capitalization, there is no doubt that they
could.
The fly in the ointment is this: You don't possess the kind of smarts needed to acquire such means, and then use it for such folly. It would be akin to buying a hobby shop; I chose that example because I'm sure you can appreciate it. There are no cheaper skinflints than RC modelers of the AMA ilk. Most it seems were born into the Depression, and never grew out of it. Buy that bridge instead.
