Just would like to share a recent encounter our club had with the AMA. For the past couple of months our club has been having RF problems that have resulted in many crashes. Our club members did a little investigating into the problem and found that are RF problems were being caused by a couple of modelers flying in a farmers field about a mile away from our field. This group of guys are flying sport scale models and not park fliers. Our first response was to let the these modelers know that they were flying very close to our field and asked them if they would like to join our club to elevate any problems or conflicts. They agreed to join our club at the time, but never did. They did however continue to fly at their present location. Our next response was to contact the AMA and ask for their help in this matter. Got a letter back from Dave Brown stating that there was nothing that the AMA could do and advised our club not to antagonize this rouge band of modelers. Now I know that the AMA is limited in this type of situation as to what it can do to help our club. However, they could have had a letter drawn up addressed to the land owner explaining the liabilities he or she may be exposing themselves to by allowing these modelers to operate off of their land. I.E. a plane striking a person, house or car and the legal ramifications of a potential law suite. A letter like that could have been very effective in solving our problems. But no, instead we were instructed to take no action against these modelers. I guess that we are just supposed to sit back and let these guys shoot down our planes and say nothing about it. I am very disappointed in the AMA's dismissive attitude toward our problem.
