Although I'm not a fan of banning MR/Drones outright just because of what they are, this club did so because it made the most sense to do so, and fortunately the AMA isn't dictating to all clubs what they have to do. Although there is national oversight on some issues, many of the day to day issues are left to the local club, and their membership to deal with.
The AMA oversees some pretty wild activities. If you ever get the chance to watch control line speed, c/l combat, c/l racing, high powered free flight and all the classes of RC pylon racing...you'll see that our $75 is buying quite a lot.
[All this stuff is shown on Utoob, but it's not the same as seeing it live].
Multi-rotor racing and MR "all out speed" are natural fits with what we do.
