Nick,

Jpo did that document to help new Turbine owners understand the forces behind Turbines. It sole purpose was to teach and help other pilots. The AMA has taken offense to this for some reason, they seems to think that we are all born with Turbine knowledge. They wrote a letter yesterday and requested that the document be pulled from our web site immediately and also told us that any future applications that came with it's info would be rejected. We had to pull it while we plead all of ours case.

I really recommend that you get to know our local AMA Dist. VP and vent your frustrations to him / her. I agree that there are other parts of this hobby that are dangerous and certainly not under the same controls. I agree that singling us out is wrong, but I have not figured out a way to change it yet. We tried to elect a new Jet friendly President but unfortunately that failed.

Again this document was intended to help and it appears you used it so I guess it did.
