Just wanted to throw out a friendly reminder that the AMA is financially weak and that they need to do something to shore up their financial deficiencies or they will be gone and all of the discussions, like this one, will have been a waste of time and that is something I would prefer to not see happen
Apropos of nothing, I'm pretty sure no other activity on earth has been taken over with more bureaucratic nonsense,
haggling, endless debate, etc., relative to the actual risk than flying model airplanes.

For myself, I've blown it all off. No FAA, no tests, no AMA, no nothing but flying where possible. I don't fly drones so sue me.

I just bought from an estate sale 5 wings from 36" to 72" and 6 other sailplanes from 48" span to 5 meter. I plan to fly them all
whenever and wherever I can.
