Your statement that you only need the AMA number on or in your aircraft is incorrect UNLESS you're an AMA member, but that's not the only thing you need now, you'd need both. Unless the AMA can talk the FAA into using some sense and we can use our AMA number to register with the feds
Make sense?
I understand, and in 2012, the FAA said they will not regulate model aircraft? So now they they make this stupid law? Is the FAA going to pay for our Liability insurance after we all register or doe's that stay with the AMA? I think the AMA has dropped the ball here Big Time, now we all suffer the consequences of a stupid few.
