Just not very effectively after the "drone fiasco" when they tried to get the FAA to force all R/C fliers to join the AMA. As I said, wasted overhead by the millions
Here's the answer I got from the secretary of NAMBA. "We can’t complete with AMA. They are so big, that they are self-supportive. To obtain the liability coverage we have, we had to direct it towards model boats only rather than cars and planes which was many years ago the case. NAMBA was created and spun off from WAM (Western Association of Modelers) to create its own model boating organization similar to IMPBA".
