It's not really that difficult. Lower the fee. If you make all the cuts I called out in my last post, the overhead will drop and then rates can be lowered to all present and prospective members. Obviously, you need to keep a bit of a profit margin, say between 5 and 10% at most, between income and costs but, when you really look at it, when you cut the overhead and, with it, the expenses incurred by said overhead, it's really a no brainer. The problem beyond that, which is not in the AMA's control, is that most places are now only selling foamie's and park flyers. Unless people can be lured back to conventional aircraft and hobby shops start selling them again, the hobby that we've known won't be around after the last of the builder/flyers from the past are gone and, with that, the AMA will also die.
