Notice Crankshaft, I say Guidelines? Clubs make rules. AMA create guidelines.
MajorTomski, three members, sounds like 3 bad apples and the actions of the few. Most multi-rotor pilots in my area want to be safe, and want to enjoy their aircraft much like fixed wing pilots want. Have your field safety officer or field marshal document the issues? Maybe recommend that your field safety officer bring a set of AMA guidelines and FPV guidelines and remind those pilots that they agreed to follow those guidelines when they signed up to be members of the AMA. If they still believe the safety guidelines are not for them, maybe their club membership badges need to be pulled, and the three members can show up to a board of directors meeting to explain to the board why they think they do not need to follow the guidelines. Then your board of directors can make the decision as to the future of their memberships. Maybe the three bad apples will realize the seriousness of the deal. They will do one of two things, fall in step with the rest of the group, or say F this, were going to go fly elsewhere.
