Please see December Model Aviation Magazine, specifically page 41. Please explain why someone as skilled and creative as Otto Dieffenback, who has been in the hobby since the 60's, should be banned from the AMA because his aircraft are powered and controled by more than one rotor.
After that, please explain why helis, which are also multi rotor aircraft, should be banned as well.
They will never ban multi rotors, and they will never ban helis, so I would suggest you get past that, or consider not being part of the AMA.

And you know that these have been the problem, I hate being link in with the ugly things!

Ignorance, intolerance, and prejudice, as well as a stubborn refusal to accept change and progress is what
is politically correct now? If anything that helps destroy the hobby, but fear not, only the dinosaurs who slowly realize their eventual obsolescence are going to be gone from the hobby. That,or they will be on the sidelines continuing to pine away for the good old days.
Amazing that no matter how many times I ask people about Otto and "banning" him from the hobby, not one person has has the guts or brass ones to step up and say they would ban him. Why is that....to politically correct to do so I guess. What hypocrites. Please, isn't there one person who loves this hobby sooo much and wants to keep it as is step up and tell me why this guy and his aircraft should be banned? How has what creates and flies caused damage or harm to to the hobby. I'm dying to understand this logic. He flies multirotors, he's been in the hobby probably longer than most here, but he should be gone?
