Model Aviation is DOOMED! *** ACT NOW! ***
#27
Didn't say completely useless. I just pointed out two visible and likely high priority efforts to which they've devoted considerable time and resources - and then noted the status of each with respect to tangible deliverables.

Crazy bills are proposed all the time, most die in committee. We should still write our representatives but no need to cry out "the sky is falling".
Anyone who is into firearms is somewhat used to this type of extremist.
Can someone tell me who proposed the bill and if they gave a reason? I didn't look at it yet, probably not worth my time.
Im curious what the motivation is. Probably someone from new York?

Fairness you say....
With your usual fair and balanced and unbiased approach to the AMA, you have hit the nail on the head. The AMA has been completely useless and has made absolutely no difference with the FAA over the past two years. In fact we're probably far worse off now than ever. Except for later, when even more horrible things might happen.

I'm sure, though, somebody will be quick point out that the dismal turns in the outlook for the future health and welfare of our hobby might be even worse except for AMA's representation of us.

Nothing from Amazon or big business/retail. Mostly funded by attorneys and some other big business lobby types, as well as Healthcare and Insurance, but nothing that looks like it ties in with this hobby, pro or con.

Yes, more struggles are no doubt ahead, I'd rather look to the good things we have in the hobby now and the future rather than worry about what might happen later.
Anyway, Hoppy Easter to those that lean in that direction...hoping for some good weather to finally arrive. Candy too.

That's not to say that many of these folks are not beholden to special interest groups...God knows most are. I just don't see the immediate connection here, that's all.

Seriously keep digging. Just to add a carrot, here's an unrelated event with the CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos and Bill Nelson talking about a new rocket manufacture and plans to take civilians to space. http://www.wesh.com/news/amazon-ceo-...coast/35282626
