I fail to see the problem. From what I see, the AMA is simply selling drone insurance, acting as an agent or a middleman. That doesn't take up many resources, and could generate some needed revenue. Sure, there is the worry that the AMA will eventually become all about commercial drones, but then again they may remember their membership and have both interests peacefully co-exist. It's not like the AMA can't hire someone using those commercial insurance funds to develop the commercial side and also keep the current positions intact to serve hobby interests too. Just because a potential slippery slope exists doesn't mean that an organization will go barreling down it at full speed. Give the EC some credit; they are all lifelong modelers who earned their spot by serving the hobby. Why would anybody think they'd forget all of that?
