The last time I looked the AMA was saying hold off on registering your models. So I am holding off. I just renewed my membership to the Vintage RC Society today and need to renew my AMA. But frankly I don't want to spend the bucks if I am going to have to pass some test, jump through hoops and do what ever else the FAA comes up with. I started flying RC in 1979 and feel I am a pretty competent pilot. I used to be everyones choice for test flying their new creations.

So can someone in just a few simple words tell me what is going on as of 3/11/2016? Sorry if I am behind the curve but the post I have read here just seem to turn into pi$$ing contest and spin off into endless arguments. Thanks for your help.
