That is your opinion. My opinion is that they are distinctly different hobbies, and the way they are practiced, affect the NAS and general public arena in very different ways. Why else do you think the FAA and the media have just recently gotten involved? Open your eyes, the media and FAA wouldn't give two shakes of piss about modelers if drones hadn't started to infringe on their daily existence.

Do you even read what you are writing? LOL The AMA is rapidly losing members, DESPITE trying to embrace the MILLIONS of drone operators out there!

Jester, just because you write stuff, doesn't make it true! I don't know if you have noticed, but the AMA HAS no position nor has it accomplished ANYTHING with the FAA!

so it would have been good for the FAA to separate drones from traditional RC activities, but NOT for the AMA to do so?
Your posts are so full of contradictory statements. It is clear to me that you are only here to argue and spin your agenda.
