How many work in AMA headquarters and how many are in the hobby/sport of aeromodeling?
As far as the big picture goes, wouldn't it be a good idea if all were aeromodelers? Better yet, hypothetically, if many if not all were flight instructors?
Also, hypothetically, if AMA created a school to train members to become RC flight instructors? Or to increase current instructor's skills?

Just attempting to offer possible solutions.
