Im happy to share how I am able to come to that conclusion. First off the FAA has pretty much always worked with the AMA and modelers in general. Currently they are attempting to come up with regulations that will not handicap us too badly. If they weren't concerned with AMA and its members we would most likely have seen more harsh restrictions. We also have some support from AOPA. Modelers are good for the aerospace industry as a whole. Many like myself evolved our hobby into our vocation. I know a few R/C pilots that went on to be airline or corporate pilots. Lots of innovation began with models. Burt Rutan for example started with models. There are positive indicators there if you choose to see them.
