What a sad state of affairs for our hobby and our country. I pray for new leadership on both counts.
Hope you're not cutting off your nose to spite your face by limiting what you can fly. The reg wasn't that bad. It's regrettable what's going on now, but i'm confident we will end up o/k. New leadership at any level won't be able to drastically change where we are, or where we are going. This isn't some sudden initiative from elected officials, and our leadership can't control to any large degree what happens at the federal level. What do you think a new AMA president would be able to do that the current one wasn't able to do? Like, specifically.
