Default RE: From my senator

That is a strong possibility with the FAA committee in place now. However you may have missed some of the early history that led to the AMA's, and other segments of the aviation community, lobbying efforts.

The first committee wanted to include all types of aviation including models. A giant power grab at best. Cooler heads prevailed in the FAA due to the first committee stepping on a lot of aviation toes so some, or all, members were replaced with the current group which are much more acceptance to suggestions and input.

Sure, FAA may laugh at the legislation if included but it will insure the power grabbers within the FAA, and the current administration, can't sneak it back in somewhere.
