AMA' position is "Campaigns such as “Know Before You Fly” and AMA’s long-standing community-based safety programs are the best, and perhaps the only, ways to effectively manage the recreational community." AMA isn't going to let the CBO gravy train go away without a fight, and FAA has not interpreted (and IMHO never will interpret) Section 336 to require membership in a CBO, but only operating in accord with the CBO safety guidance. Meanwhile modelers will retain the freedom to enjoy the hobby/sport, whether AMA member or independent. I'm good with that.

Bet U will either belong to a CBO or pass some sort of Test to assure u under stand the proper places to fly and rules of the road.
