When I looked at that article though, it did hit me in the face again about how far removed from our hobby that the drones have become. Nothing to fear, and nothing wrong with them, just not anything remotely (no pun intended) close to our hobby and what the AMA was founded for.

Isn't That What the Free Flight hard nosed guys said about the Control Line Guys" Then Control Line Guys said it about R/C Guys. Then It was said about Chopper Guys from the Traditional R/C Flyers.. Now the Quads are not in step with the Traditional R/C Flyers or Chopper guys. If it Flys it Takes off Flies through the air and Lands it behooves the AMA to welcome it as a new technology and accept it along with other forms of Model Aviation. What are guys going to say when Autonomous or even Mind Control is developed. Look at the Safe Tech and Stablizers being used by Traditional R/C Aviation.

The AMA was Founded to further Model Aviation no mater what form it takes in the feature. Just because one is stuck in the past shouldn't stimey progress or new forms of Model Aviation. JMHO Have an Awesome Day
