Personally, I think that: I want to fly a turbine and how do I join the AMA are questions that shouldn't be asked by the same person. We have a turbine flyer in our club and he has years of experience with flying R/C Aircraft. In fact, he traveled to Lubbock Tx. to get his waiver for flying his new turbine jet. If you would like to read an artricle on his maiden flight, you can go to: http://www.americanturfflyers.com and check out the newsletter section. It may be the one that is currently there, or the last one, just not sure as we are updating the link this week.
