When that Mission Statement was written, "embracing" all existing forms of model flight seemed like a "No Brainer".
We have reached a fork in the road where DITCHING drone style flight seems like a No Brainer to those of us who wish to avoid further regulation that is the result of drone style flight.
Well who do you think is trying to preserve our right to fly NOW...and in the FUTURE? I believe that's the the AMA, unless I'm missing some other group that's out there. Banning or "ditching" a technology or style of flying is meaningless, a waste of time, and reactionary. Those who think that no regulation is the best way to go are living in an alternate reality, and don't appear to have come to grips with a changing world.
