This might be a dumb question.. But has the AMA ok'ed the use of these systems at ama fields? I bring this up becuase I mentioned these were out now at a meeting today at the field and the "old gezzers" had a fit that the ama hadnt told them anything about them and wanted to out law them unless I could find something that says the AMA ok'ed them
Excerpt from article by Dan Williams (D II frequency coordinator) referenced by Steve Kaluf in a piece on the AMA site:
*******
Q: Will the AMA Safety Code change, and
when will I be able to fly my models at my
AMA chartered club with SS?
A: AMA’s goal with the system testing is to
make changes to the Safety Code as
necessary to accommodate the new systems.
The Academy wants to encourage the
technology—not hinder it.
The code reads, “I will operate my model
aircraft using only radio-control frequencies
currently allowed by the Federal
Communications Commission … ” These
frequencies are currently authorized, so there
should be no problem as long as the club
doesn’t have additional safety rules regarding
the use only of our current frequencies.
