By establishing a protocol for how drones should be flown at AMA fields, the AMA "embraced" drones.
Before this, there was at least one editorial [that I recall] in the AMA mag that stated their case for why we must embrace this new technology.

........The question asks whether or not the AMA made a mistake doing something that they actually never did. So the question is not valid.................................
.................................................. .....it was necessary for the AMA to embrace drones in some form for the good of RC as a whole. They are here whether you like it or not, and there is so much overlap between the two hobbies that the AMA would have been foolish not to get involved in it.............

In one sentence , the question is not valid cause the AMA didn't embrace drones .........And in the other sentence , the AMA HAD to embrace drones for the good of all RC .............
I realize that you don't like the fact that 82% of your fellow respondents feel it was a mistake for the AMA to go "Romancing the Drone" (as it were) , but it takes a lot of nerve to first tell me my poll is invalid only to turn around and praise the AMA for doing what you claim they haven't done .

Ok guys, I've already had to remove a couple posts that were off topic that were made to stir up trouble in the thread. Let's keep the discussion on the topic here and not attacking each other please. It's pretty simple. Ok?? Thanks.

It's a shame that some folks here can't discuss this without insulting the fellow posters with labels like "haters" .......I guess it's easy to dismiss the opposing viewpoint when we demonize those on the other side , Huh Hound ? Well buddy , insult all you want , but know that while you hurl your insults , your insulting the greater majority of your fellow hobbyists , what's it , at 78 % now , that are "haters" in your all knowing pigeon holing of those who don't agree with you ?
Present your point . feel free to do so . But go and personally attack those on the opposite side and you can EXPECT to be called out on it !

Sure it is capable of recording an actual model aircraft flying responsibly at your local flying field but it is not a model aircraft.
You can even get your friends together who have one of these and even race them. You can also perform any number of aerobatic routines with one as well. That does not however, change what they are. They are drones.
For more information about how to safely operate your new drone, please contact your dealer or manufacture for details.

As a smart business move it is wise to evolve and be creative and generate more ways to produce revenue.if anyone should be in the forefront of any rc flying anything it has to be the AMA.we are the ambassadors and reps of rc flying.
I love the AMA field here in Muncie and recommend you all fly here and see how much they put into keeping up the 1200 acres of flying fields here,
Fly rc !

I'm glad someone is getting some use out of it.
51- Yes to 12- No on the vote, I would say pretty much a landslide.

It's not an insult. What would U call people that don't like something just because they don't do it. There's a whole thread about people that think some people aren't real R/Cers unless they Build from scratch and fly with an IC form of power U know The Traditional way.
