I am kind of in the same boat as Silent-AV8R. I receive a number of products to write about in my MA column. I frequently take these to AMA events where they can be examined by anyone interested. I even demonstrate them at times and where possible let them be tried out by the attendees. Some items, like ESCs, Winged Shadows' HOW HIGH, HOW FAST and RC REPORTER have been actually flown and shown at AMA meets. I do not get a 1099 form for the cost any of these items. Would this put me in the "commercial" category where my AMA insurance is in jeopardy. I think not. Or is this just another AMA red herring.
