Good thing the Jetero Club is AMA chartered, so Arnold was required to be an AMA member and thus covered by a $2.5 million liability policy, right?

To the best of my understanding -- and in the question/answer session following the briefing -- I asked several questions about this briefing item, you are NOT RIGHT.
Arnold A is NOT COVERED under the AMA Liability Insurance for his action. He would be subject to any judgment against him, but he would be doing some fast flipping to support Horrace C who is the ultimate LOSER! (You like that term, don't you Able?)
That is why FREQUENCY CONTROL is of such importance on the local scene. It could well be YOU in that wheel chair.
If you go up to the Radio Manufacture's Support forum you will find a significant item that I have sent to Hitec. I also sent directly. No response yet.
IMO DANGEROUS. This happened to me just yesterday. While I have a basic transmitter and Buddy-Cord for each Airtronics, Futaba, Hitec and JR. I had left all but the JR @ home, as I had no firm appointment to instruct. Had my old Hitec Prism 7 / Spectra to fly a couple OLD airplanes.
To shorten, I set it up to instruct a basic Futaba and behold we discovered without any damage to anyone that the Hitec was transmitting on the Spectra freq.
Had to pull the Spectra. In all my instructing years since B-Cds, I had never configured a computer radio to use as a slave.
Scared _ell out of me, well maybe not all of it! [>:] Just can't quit learning.
