Trev,

I completely agree. I know that I have been more vocal than what I probably should have been. I was the first District V JPO rep and played a small part in getting the original turbine regs in place. It was hard work coming up with a workable agreement with the AMA to show that turbines were safe in the right hands. Without the JPO I doubt that we would have as much freedom as we now have with turbines...If they would be allowed at all. The AMA was, and in many ways still is, sceptical of our turbines. Many things have changed over the years and in many ways the turbine regs should be relaxed instead of tightened. Jet modelers as a whole have proven to be worthy. Why is it then I feel the noose tightening??? If things keep going the way they have, we won't be able to fly on any days that end in "Y".
