Now we're being invaded by quad copters.....you can't turn a page without seeing one

And as long as they fly those Quad copters following AMA guidelines , how , exactly , does this keep you from enjoying the planes you build ? So they want to fly something different from what you and I fly , does that make AMA legal quad flyers some sort of "persona non grata" ? In my view of the hobby , do it safe (AMA rules) and do it for just that , a hobby , with no commercial interest , and I'll consider that just as legitimate a subset of our hobby as any other . But then again , I'm not here looking for an "Us VS them" fight about folk's choice of RC entertainment .....
