Negative...after...negative...posts with no real solutions. If the AMA is truly a dinosaur, or is so out of touch with reality, why do you folks even care to discuss it? Seems to me that most of those who post are not members...will not join a club...because they might charge $50 a year to fly that $900 airplane. Everyone wants somebody else to do all the work and then fly for free on someone else's dime...so why would you even care to do anything to better the AMA? I agree with each and every person who has posted on this thread, nothing AMA will ever do will be enough. That is very unfortunate.

If you are opposed to the AMA, then I suggest you are against the very club structure that supports flying fields and this is borne out by several posts that alude to using Parks instead of organized clubs...with the sorry excuse that some of the elders leave a bad taste in their mouth because they demand protection for their expensive facilities. Is there a better way...Sure...but not one has mentioned it. If AMA only insures its members...then clubs should purchase their own insurance and charge accordingly...an additional $58 per year per member to pay for the coverage. Sound about right to me.

From where I stand, as a new AMA member, RCU forums are just a place for *****ing and complaining with no real interest in protecting the future of model aviation. No real solutions...and when solutions are suggested...there is seven reasons why it won't work. You folks have a good life...and enjoy your hobby while it lasts...and when it is gone along with the clubs that support it...don't start looking for anyone to blame except yourselves. 

Last post...for it's a waste of time to try and convince a minority of closed minds that there can be a better future.
