AMA Mission -
The Academy of
Model Aeronautics is a world-class association of modelers organized for the purpose of promotion, development, education, advancement, and safeguarding of
modeling activities.
The Academy provides leadership, organization, competition, communication, protection, representation, recognition, education, and scientific/technical development to modelers.

The AMA should not open their doors to any activity that does not fit their mission. Especially an activity that is just trying to hide from the FAA under the AMA skirt.

Sorry, but I see FPV activity as described in the AMA guidelines a completely valid aero modeling activity. Nothing you are posting above about the AMA and its missions and guidelines ad definitions affects using new technologies in a model aircraft of any type.
