Ira am I missing something? AMA not being a government regulatory agency is not able to come up with any rules/laws. Honestly I don't know where 336 actually came from but AMA simply pointed out to the FAA that they were not allowed to regulate model aircraft when they came up with registration. That is why registration went away for a while. FAA ran to congress and congress/Trump repealed 336 and now the FAA is legally able to regulate us.
Now I will agree that we could have been represented better. As far as continuing to work with them, it has been stated that there are constant talks between the FAA and AMA, I have no reason to doubt that.
