I do feel that the current AMA mandates for waivers based on .40 and larger aircraft need to be revised. For the AMA to hand out "suggested" flying site layouts and have fields built to their specs that require waivers, it does seem counter-productive. (FYI, our club is built with 190 ft runway to spectator area and we still need a waiver). I think a sensible admendment to the dimensions they go by is in order to bring things in-line. However, I for one don'y like to see spectators 50 ft off of the main runway, so there's got to be a happy medium somewhere.
