The AMA has been a participant in the drone community since Walt Good flew his radio controlled Guff. The AMA does not use the word drone in their regulation, its called sUAV and those flown recreationally are called "model aircraft. Basically anything flown for fun and is flown LOS. BLOS is illegal so there is nothing to the AMA embracing drone conspiracy theory.
