First, As I grow older and hopefully wiser, I am seeing our country has gone insane on so many levels. Second, I am not sure why members of RCU from other country's out side of the USA are arguing points that don't apply to them. AMA, as far as I know, is only here in the USA. Canada has their own version of AMA. FAA is also a USA government division. ICAO rules apply internationally. The only reason for any of you outside of the USA to be concerned, is if you are coming to an event here in the USA, like; Top Gun, Florida Jets, etc. I have flown in both with the international modelers. Most have a lot of money to travel here with their models, so the average modeler in the rest of the world, this subject truly doesn't concern them.
I fly scale jets and large scale prop planes. I think it is going to be totally a mess trying to register all models for hobby use. Heck, there are a LOT of models that don't even make it past the maiden!!! So, the Government wants to register planes that fly once? And, yes, I understand that one flight might cause damage or endanger someone. But, really, has become insanity. IMHO>
