Here's another example of the worthlessness of the AMA. The Torry Pines field in California was closed to RC in August of this year because in the words of the AMA "misinformation" between the lessee and the city of San Diego. All the help the AMA proports to offer modelers in exchange for their dues, now $58 per, boils down to their plea for US to send scathing letters to the city of San Diego!! They (the AMA) say they want the voice of the modeler to Be heard. What happened to the promise a couple of years ago that they would fight to help us keep our fields. This looks like a good, win-able fight here.
Why not send a couple of the lawyers the AMA has on retainers to Calif. to clear up this "misinformation"? Oh, but that would mean the AMA would actually have to do something on their own, on behalf of the membership who pays $58 a year, wouldn't it? Silly me.
