What kind of IDIOT does that?? The same ones that point lasers at airplanes?! They should all be thrown in the pokey!!

I wrote an email to AirAge media, publisher of RC Car Action and RotorDrone, expressing my concern, not knowing who else to write to. Haven't gotten a response. There needs to be a letter-writing campaign to the AMA to get them to come out in the media and represent us, the responsible people!!! Otherwise, the knee-jerk reaction from the Regular Joe on the street is going to be "ban 'em all!" Seriously, we should all be howling at whatever RC organization there is, AMA or whatever, to STAND UP and let the people know these morons aren't "us". WHERE DO WE START???
