Fellow AMA members,

"It's no secret that model aviation is in challenging times. Overall, club membership is down, hobby shops have closed, few aeromodeling magazines remain, and many iconic hobby brands are now gone. And of course, governmental regulations still persist. Pressures on our hobby are more severe than at any time in history.

The challenges of costs, regulations, and reduced participation in model aviation are upon us. In no time has our hobby been so threatened. These challenges are new, different, and persistent. The good news is that there are ways to address reduced participation in model aviation and to increase our membership!" They are aware of my mass and rapid growth program.
