I again agree with the thought line of this thread.

If the AMA EC (from the top?) does not have the foresight to see that the possibilities in this are very exciting, especially for model aviation, then they must be blinded by their determination to keep the status quo.

This is opening a completely new avenue to aeromodelers, and needs to be studied for the following:

1. Viability (already proven?)
2. Safety
3. Possible Level of membership participation
4. Rules sets to assist in governing new aspect of hobby. (IMPORTANT: Make these rules with the help and input from members active in the AUAC field. This ensures that the rules makers will have a clue (stretch))

Trust me in this, I am a competitior in the "darkside" of R/C (R/C Combat). Without the forming of our S.I.G. (RCCA) we would have less of a voice within the AMA, and would not have proven combat to be as safe as it is.

Maybe I am just trying to apply logic and reason to a situation and people where none exist......
