On the other hand, AMA is well aware there will be 240+ vacant flying fields on day one (rejected FRIAs). I think AMA
will gladly take them on as drone-only flying sites. An even bigger potential market than hobby drones are commercial
drone users who will need those fields to fly and test their equipment.
Hobby registrations have slowed while the rate of 107 registrations had doubled. Commercial users have no choice but
fly legally and comply with remote ID. AMA is also now in the commercial drone insurance business, an obvious conflict
of interest that shows what little regard AMA has for the model aircraft hobby.
With model aircraft flyers FRIA prisoners, AMA can drop pretense of being a model aircraft organization. I predict in a few
years Michael Kranitz' quote, "If it flies without a pilot in the seat, it belongs under the AMA umbrella", will be their tagline.
