Interesting thread. I didn't find it till today. I echo what has been written here. In my opinion, the AMA safety committee has absolutely no idea how to effectively develop and enforce any form of meaningful safety measures with respect to model aviation. And the committee is afraid of anything that could possibly point that out to the rest of the world.
With the FAA taking a closer look at model aviation, I will bet that within 5 years there will be a model related mishap with a jet or an LMA that will force the FAA to negate the AMA's CBO status for models.
