wouldnt it be easier to distance ourselves from it
if we didnt celebrate one of our leaders doing it and hanging the evidence in our own museum?

AMA's words condemn it while AMAs actions commend it,
are we just supposed to believe the FAA doesnt know about the autonomous flight MH/DB did under then banner of 'aeromodeling'

Either we should admit that it is part of the hobby (TAM ok)
or admit it aint modeling (TAM no-go)

I prefer option 1, but that is my opinion
and while I would like others to not prefer option 2, thats their opinion
... I just think its silly to say its not part of the hobby unless our cronies/good-ole-boys do it then it is modeling:
Do as we say, not as we do?
