Status: offline 		You actually read the magazine? I usually give up once I hit the (never-ending) (massively-dull) free flight section. Surely the technology used by this lot isn't changing quickly enough that they need ten pages every month to discuss it!

Status: offline 		I hear ya visioneer. I think the mag is crap. Bunch of old timers with the free flights and control line. Sure there are jets, and helis, but then there is control line scale, control line racing, control line aerobatics, blah blah blah.

Status: offline 		Wow. You guys are a tough group. Before there is a lot of discussion about the AMA, there should be some required reading. The AMA by-laws, the minutes for the past year or so of the EC (oops, thats the Exectutive Council, to those of you that don't know) and maybe some of the IRS code.

A newsletter is required under the IRS status (501 (3) c) that the AMA has. The magazine, Model Aviation, meets that requirement. With the help of some advertising, it cuts the cost of your membership. Now, a 501 (3) c status is an educational status. It allows some special tax advantages. One of the requirements of that non-profit status is to educate you. Yeah, you, the members of the AMA.

If you actually read the magazine you might pick up some tips on building or maintaining a model, as well as rules changes, safety code changes, etc, etc. Keep in mind that most of the R/C stuff was derived from free flight. You can find good information in most of the articles.

I suppose they could eliminate the mag. Your dues might go up just a tad. Is that what you all prefer?

If this forum is going to exist, it is going to take some effort for those of you that post. You either need to ask questions, or have the knowledge to answer them.
