I find this whole scenario disgusting. People have lost touch with common sense. I hope, if this goes to trial, that enough modelers and spectators are called by the AMA to bury the attorney who filed this action. It is time for some of these people who play lawsuit lotto to feel the consequences in their own pocketbook. It is imperative that the AMA set a precedent here. Otherwise there are thousands of unprincipled attorneys eagerly seeking ways to pick our pockets.

General Aviation reached a point where the liability load per airframe exceeded $75K on a Cessna single. Without going into all the cases here, many of them were without merit whatsoever, but the courts allowed the plaintiffs to venue shop. Eventually the manufacturers all but quit defending themselves.
