No, to your questions, Crash99. As a former (maybe still, I don't know) Fixed Base Operator, very close to the EAA, and also a very intelligent businessman, Mr. Dave Mathewson, now AMA's Executive Director, knows all the ropes to jump, and ladders to climb. This getting many youths into the AMA certainly is a good thing in the business of AMA.
Everyone likes youth programs. Obtaining the FAA to allow the "Community Based Organization" to be the Safety-Rule maker for RC flying, while FAA rules will
be much more demanding. Therefore almost all clubs will be AMA and thus all fliers will want to be in a club so they will pay whatever AMA asks, just to not be under FAA, or at least that is how my little brain computes all the evidence.

If AMA leaders did not see a cash cow in the near future, how would they expect to finance this new Foundation program? Many of us that wanted AMA to go there have been laughed at for many years. Now in one EC meeting, the foundation is approved, and all the formalities set into operation.

No Sir, Mr Crash99, I see AMA will be here for along time providing certain things don't happen in early Nov. that will set the whole country on its backside. That's another story!
