What dirrections should the AMA go? What ideas need to be explored? (sic)
1. Make the magazine,
Model Aviation, a profit making business (IRC 501 (c) (3) non-related business), thus releasing well over 1 million dollars of member dues back into the general fund, plus making other modeling media more supportive of AMA and its programs. Solution: Competitive market advertising rates.
2. Use available media to increase many-fold the knowledge, awareness, and acceptance of model aviation as a worthwhile recreational and competitive sport, hobby, etc.
3. Increase the membership.
4. Using #2 and #3 as a tool for enhancing flying facility acquisition and retainment.
5. Reduction of restrictions -- Safety Code -- etc. for insurance enhancement.
