The best thing AMA could do-Would be to shut down Muncie flying site and open smaller regional flying area's and have them involved in the community instead of being self-serving as a most part, to themselves-let those kids catch the fever
AMA probably should start building up a flying site acquisition fund, 'cuz flying sites are disappearing at an ever-increasing rate.
I think we should hike the dues to somewhere around $250 a year.
Yeah, that ought to take care of it. We could easily afford to buy one flying site in Kalifornia as early as say, 2015, and maybe another in Connecticut sometime in the following _century_.
'course, with dues at $250 a year and climbing just to keep up with inflation, we wouldn't need any regional flying sites because all remaining AMA members could fly >at the same time< on the Muncie site.
AMA should buy regional flying sites ? With WHAT ?
Man, you rose to that like a trout rising to a mayfly. Let it go, lest we have yet another "Fat Cats Building An Ivory Castle In Muncie Dave Brown Is The Antichrist" thread.
We wuz talkin' about giving a way model airplanes, nothing more, on this here particular thread. PLENTY of other threads where people can rage against the AMA machine...
Which Guillows glider are they giving away? Does the club contribute at all, or does the LHS foot the bill alone?
