There's no sense creating further divides in the R/C hobby. Regardless of if the AMA botched their arguments or if the FAA is seen as a saint or a villain, there's just as much to lose for the guy who's just built their first 250 race quad as the one flying a Sig Smith Miniplane.

There is a difference between a guy flying drones over people , houses and streets, and a AMA member flying at a model field. It's not about pride, it's about understanding safety concerns, and the consequences.
