"catch 22" is a metaphor. Yes, there is a method in the rules. It requires numerous practice flights with witnesses. But a waiver is impossible to obtain and useless for those who aren't AMA members. The only place they can fly is on private property that is big enough for the beasts.

Oh and your most recent misinformation "The only place they can fly is on private property that is big enough for the beasts." is wrong as well...

In other words you don't really know. I suspected as much.

Would BLM land count as private and do I need permission to fly there? I do a lot of flying on BLM. Just curious. Enough of it out here you could fly a full scale and not endanger anyone.

So you evade the issue and embarrassing yourself by playing games. I suspected as much from you. If you think you are right, stick your neck out, like I have been doing, and describe why I am wrong, if you can. I don't think you can.

I've been giving it a lot of thought and I have come to a conclusion... and now have the only answer that will satisfy you... You are right.
From this moment on, if I or anyone else I know needs guidanace about matters of model airplanes, I hope you will be so kind and continue to share your great wisdom.
You have been a real asset here and a source of great knowledge based purely on your extensive experiences in this great hobby and all matters that relate.
We have learned a lot from you and I want to just say thanks for you being you.

Let me guess, ARFs were going to rule the hobby too right? And Helis, and then those new fangled battery powered planes too eh? If it's not stick built and nitro, it doesn't work for the hobby right?
So glad that mentality is slowly disappearing from clubs and is being replaced by folks who enjoy many aspects of the hobby, not just ones from 50 years ago.

I'm sure everyone groaned when they heard the warning. Even more so since the warning was completely wrong, and even this most recent comment is wrong, it's not a foamy that's being discussed here.

Since CJ and LCS insist, I will chime in. I personally think that the hobby is about having fun. I think that new technology and new model merchandising are obviously changing things for the better for most and maybe not for others. But, there are plenty of hobby products to satisfy all comers. Let's all get together and fly safely and do our best to promote the best parts of the hobby.
