Richard the AMA did do a survey about drones and I'll bet the greatest majority of us said "no way" and then the EC went ahead and began "romancing the drone" anyway . I don't think that survey was any more than a way for the EC to gauge the backlash from us old farts against gambling our existing hobby for the promise of the almighty drone dollar .
PS , Nice looking Gee Bee , BTW .... Never owned one , but have always liked the look of them .
