Clarification:

I did NOT 'author' that post above (copy/paste from the listed website above). Lets give credit where it's due:

Now, I want to go on record (as a CFI/MEI for the past 15 years) stating that I do NOT want the FAA trying to REGULATE model aircraft.. PERIOD. However, in this day in age with 'Homeland Security' issues abound, there 'might' be some form of 'informal training' needed for those who buy/fly the 'park flyer' aircraft..who don't have a good general knowledge of how model aviation affects full size aviation in certain circumstances. That be it may, history has shown that once a government agency gets it's 'teeth' into a particular activity, it's like cancer....it spreads until it chokes the very activity it was trying to 'protect'.. yeah, right! whatever..

Like I said folks, READ whatever you can find concerning this development concerning the FAA and it's recent discussions concerning our hobby with the AMA. Looks like we're going to have to let our District VP's know how we feel concerning this matter..and SOON! Be sure to respond to ANY Notice of Proposed Rule Making that might affect our hobby. Keep a close eye on this..is all I'm saying.

BTW, there are other Special Interest Group websites hosting discussions such as this one as well. Some more 'lively'. Google them and you'll find them.
