Some seem to think that participation in RC flying carries some obligation to be part of a "press gang" for the AMA. Call me crazy, but I though the idea of a hobby was to participate - which I do. And I participate far more than when I was a member of a club. If kids don't want to do it, I'm not going to force it on them. Same with AMA membership.
