AMA insurance is secondary to insurance I already pay for, so that is certainly not a reason for me to be a member. The magazine is not that great, I get more pertinent, up-to-date and relevant information online for virtually nothing. Hmm....what's left?...NOT MUCH!!!

IMO, the damage that has been done to our hobby was done by lumping ALL (except for those under 250g!! LOL) sUAS together, AND that the AMA has seemingly lost the respect it once had in the legislative circles. SAD day, indeed!

Since these are just the recommendations set forth by the task force, it will be interesting to see what and how the FAA will actually implement.
