This would make some good sense. Perhaps a club could charge a fee to help defray upkeep costs, but AMA membership should not be mandatory. That is the one thing that got me put off with the hobby:...

I have flown Cubs, and also owned a .40 sized Lanier Citabria. The only problem with the Citabria was that the Pitts style muffler had a bad habit of detaching its self. I would use some rudder on...

So does all this mean that a kit-built Sig Four-Star will have to have a serial number and ADS-B, while being confined to an established flying field under a CBO? And will the operator have to be...

If you can't get a medical certificate, you can't even fly a Cessna 152, and may even be denied a Part 107 drone license due to the TSA vetting. So if you can legally fly a 152, consider yourself...

The only way for any FAA rule to be effective, would be to require a license and medical certificate for ALL operators of RC. This would include drones, in addition to fixed wing and helis. ...

And this is much of why I got out of the hobby. I still have one air frame for an Extra 300SP I need to find a buyer for, if anybody's interested. But after that, it'll be all quads and cameras. ...

This is interesting. It looks like there hasn't been any updates in a couple years, and I don't see any products offered either, except for some services.

I've been wondering. On the back of my mind, I think about a company that used to make RC kits. They were very prominent in the hobby in decades past, but from what I remember, the company had left...

You just can't get the sensations out of an electric that you can from glow. Battery-powered electrics are what caused me to lose part of my interest in the hobby. I have one brand new air frame...

I guess the days of fixed-wing, helis, and scale models are nearly over. The multi-rotors with photography equipment have pretty much taken over. And, we can see where all this is going with the...

Looks like it's a done deal then. Will the Senate vote on it by October 7, though? Or will it end up being tabled yet again?

I've read on RCGroups that the bill got a one week extension, until October 7th. It might not make it. Who knows?

In the most recent version of HR 302, Section 336 is repealed. So yes, the hobby will be in direct FAA control. When questioning one of the clauses in Part 107, I was told by a medical examiner that...

I can see this. It would add some form of value to those who are in the hobby. I have always been in agreement with some others, that flying is a privilege and not a constitutional right. So is...

Yes, I agree. Model aviation and general aviation have lost their luster. I think my last post can explain part of the reason. I had once hoped that R/C could help me practice my flying skills for...

I think I will add that a good suggested name for the AMA would be the "Academy of Micro Aeronautics" rather than the "Academy of Model Aeronautics".

The AMA will have to do something to generate a profit. I think we can all be reasonably sure of that. It will be "either go big, or go home". Commercial is where it's at, and this I believe, is...
