Yes they are now but if you look at the timeline it was after the AMA decided to become involved with small commercial UAV/UAS operations. If they had stuck to their original mandate and told the FAA they only service the hobby flyers and everything outside of that remained the domain of the FAA I think they would have been fine. Once the lines between pure hobby endeavors and light commercial become blurred it looks like the FAA now lumps you all together. In Canada we kept the hard line separation with a very distinct line between hobby and commercial use. We realize it could all go south in a heartbeat but at present we do not suffer the trials and tribulations you guys are going through.
