Well that's a good step, at least on the right direction. You've said in the past that the AMA was just big insurance scam, so this is a move in a positive manner. I don't think anyone has ever said the AMA were big fish in any pond, but they certainly are the biggest when it comes to advocating for modelers, both "traditional" folks, and ones that just signed up today to fly MR/Drone. As I said before, perhaps it's a question of expectations. Those with realistic expectations are probably best situated to deal with these issues that we face as a hobby. Seems some feel like the AMA should yield more power or authority, or clout. Perhaps they will in the future, the NRA certainly wasn't a powerhouse overnight.
