Well , let me say that as someone whose formal education is limited to electrical and mechanical devices (FAA A&P Mechanic , training in industrial 3 phase electrical systems , etc) I have no business sense/savvy whatsoever . And even a financial luddite such as myself can see that according to Franklin's charts & graphs the business model presently being practiced by our AMA is a dismal failure to the future of the organization . I've said this before , I have to wonder if it's purposeful , maybe to reemerge as a for profit contractor to the FAA to manage all hobbyist model aircraft operations ?
