What seemingly is being proposed by some in this forum will put an end to large models and many forms of competition thus removing that choice for many of us.
Actually, Speed, I wasn't looking at any of the minutia on the edges of the discussion. I was looking at where the FRIA concept would lead and, as you just stated, unless I pay the AMA, I WOULD NOT be allowed to play UNLESS I have a park, private land or sport field that I can legally fly from. I know I have the same issues when I go boating, either have a permit from the county for access to most sites or go to a lake that's private/privately owned or is accessible to the public and allows boats that are powered by IC engines. Same deal as FRIA, pay to play or find a site that is allowed due to OTHER activities that are allowed there
