J_R,

Actually I am the JPO website manager so you figure if I support the JPO. I have been heavily involved in several of the Turbine waiver proposals that have been sent to the AMA. If you don't believe me just wait to see what's around the corner for any of us. The AMA would love to only insure the guys that are building static models. It is high time that EVERY active modeller gets involved and votes for a change in the leadership. It is time that we have real representation on the EC and at Headquarters. There needs to be term limits so that we don't have VP's that don't even build models. Also for what it is worth I think you will find that a considerable number of jet modellers are already carrying more insurance to cover themselves. I know everyone that flies with me carries an excess umbrealla policy of at least $4 million dollars.

You also mention in one of your posts that the 3D'ers are in shock, well join the club the jet guys have been appaulled at how many of our "rules" have been made without anyone actually consulting the people that actually know what the important safety issues are. The current turbine rules include several knee jerk reactions to percieved problems that may or may not exist.
