The thing is, we are in Japan. There is no AMA, and we get our insurance here through other means. We all have it, though it isn't as important as in America.

The majority of the folks at the field are like me. I see the ever increasing regulation of everything as a negative trait. There has been a dangerous pilot come before. An old guy flying a chopper. We all just stop flying and move away till he is done. No rules, no conflict, simple solution.

I would have no problem with the rules if it was an organized club, if there were dues to be paid and services being provided. It is really just one guy who likes to manage other people. There are such in every group. Nothing wrong with it, I just worry it is going to remove some of the relaxed casual atmosphere of the place.

It wouldn't even be so bad if it stopped there, but I worry it will continue to get worse. Regulations are like government agencies, they never dissapear, they just grow.

I like clubs too, but this has been refreshing in it's differentness.
