With all the equipement advertised that you can fly any where you want why would you need to go to a club or join AMA. Most radios are on 27 or 49 mhz unless you have a radio from an action that you put in a unit and don't care or don't no what a problem it can cause. With all this going on a lot of older flyers are droping out and young flyers don't care. It is not the AMA dues it is the principle of the whole thing.
