You're right in wanting a separate org for FPV...the problem is the AMA will likely take them in as another SIG in the long run. The engineering over the years almost guarantees it. The park Program was an attempt to bring more modelers into the fold of all AMA...FPV will be no different IMO. Its more about org growth than promoting the hobby IMO
