Franklin and grognard,

Please take your back and forth to the proper thread. This one is about how the EAA gets the distinct differences between drones and traditional craft yet the AMA does not, despite being the obvious choice to be experts on all RC flying things, and how they missed the boat early on with the FAA by not simply providing their knowledge to help steer legislation and protect the aspect of this hobby that really has (no matter how you spin it, albeit with a few exceptions) had an exemplary safety record where it comes to playing safe in the NAS. In all reality, traditional modeling is no more or less dangerous today than it has been for the last 80 years, so a lot of this hullabaloo over traditional model operations is rather silly and in reality, won't dramatically (or marginally for that matter!) make traditional modeling activities, or commercial aviation on iota safer.

Regards,

Astro
