I think hobby shops shouldn't sell any R/C planes or equipment to anyone unless they can produce a current AMA card and also sign an agreement to maintain the affiliation in the future. Yes AMA does have a supreme right to the 72 MHz band and anyone other than an AMA member using 72 MHz should be jailed and fined. BTW the AMA should go ahead and monopolize the 27mhz band too since many are flown at AMA chartered fields and the little aircraft might hit someone while flying a real model likely causing the real model to become out of control resulting in a serious injury that would ultimately cause the demise of the hobby as a whole.

Hobby stores should also be held liable in the event someone tries to fly a model and causes injury to someone else.

If everyone will take responsibilities for others this hobby shall be great!

All remote control aircraft flying should be under strict organized club supervision. There are clubs available everywhere that will make every effort to keep members in control and allow for a safe hobby.

BTW this is not the first oversight of this type by the hobby industry.
