RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Don't think anybody is blaming the AMA for a few rotten eggs... some of us are questioning how relevant the AMA is in the current scope of things especially when it comes to the 6-ounce park flyers...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

That certainly is the case with our club. At age 44 I'm one of the youngest members, and probably 80% of the members in our area are seniors. When I first joined about 12 years ago, we probably had...

RE: 20% vs 35% fuel "my results"

RE: 20% vs 35% fuel "my results"
