Crank & Hydro: Crank glad to see ya back, been a while.
Both of U are correct but we as the informed and responsible R/C Flyers are the only ones that can save our Hobby/Sport from the DumBoos out there that, I am convinced don't even know that there are Rules for flying R/C Toys. I think that your LHS (Hobby Town) is doing the best for the Hobby/Sport and them selves by passing out the AMA "Know before U Fly" Literature is a BIG step in the right direction. Unfourtionatly, like Traffic laws and DMV Test only PROVE U ounce knew the Rules, Not that U will Follow them. That's up to the Individual and the Traffic laws provide Consequences for violations. But the Police and court systems don't punish the law abiding driver because of other traffic law offenders. So should make it clear to the FAA?NTSB, The News Medea, The Flying Public and everyone that if there are Idiots Flying R/C Toys Where,When or How that is contrary to the Rules they are the ones to be punished to the full extent of the law. Not every one in this great Hobby/Sport as a Whole.
Gota call the AMA today and get some of the Literature and take it personally to the LHS in this area. Think I'll get some for the LHS in PHX too.
