RE: The essence of Dave Brown and his vision for the AMA
The fact that those entering areomodeling with under $100 park flyers will probably not join the AMA does not mean that those that go on, or enter at a more expensive level will not join. The assumption that people that fly park flyers do not want or need insurance is a poor one. The fact that some do not see value in Model Aviation Magazine is an irrelevant one, since some do.
Not making an effort to embrace park flyers makes about as much sense as banning turbines. It’s shortsighted and foolish.
Those that believe every single thought that Dave Brown puts forth is wrong are more shortsighted than some of the positions he has taken.
