Drones are used as military weapons, they have a myriad of commercial applications and of course they (drones) can be toys. The AMA deals with our toys, and some of our members use toy drones.
Like it or not, it is in our best interest to have the AMA being part of those discussions. My 2 cents. The fact that I have no interest in drones (or free flight, or u control, ot tanks, or...) still does not change my opinion. It is part of our hobby.
