I wonder what the threshold would be for folks to really begin squaking at the cost ....
The threshold for modelers....lol, I think it would be from dollar one! Having some outside company inspect their plane for a fee? Are we looking for the Govt to be more involved now in the hobby to tell us how to operate? Has there been some issue with 55lb plus planes, or is one person looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. And if so, for what purpose?
Why would this need to get done again...because Frankin doesn't want the AMA involved in something having to do with big RC planes? This talk of eating crispy bacon is confusing and enticing me, I'm might need to go back and look at the logic for this again.
