I find this very interesting. I've been going through the main topics of every thread here in the AMA discussions and find that this topic has come up before several times in different words and the same answers are given every time..........
My point and conclusion is that there is no way to solve it and results of asking will be the same every time some one asks..........
IMHO, the only possible solution, which is creating a safety in numbers factor, something I have mentioned many times, but have been totally ignored everytime. Matter of fact, AMA has been trying with their
http://www.modelaircraft.org/ambassador.asp but that too has been all but ignored for going on 6 years now. I suggested to AMA to make that link easier to see, but that too was ignored.
As it is now, one club loses it's flying site and then its members join another one...the result is another over crowded flight line. It is clear that growth is the RC industry's medicine and the club member's poison. Then again, no one likes the idea of having to wait an hour or so just to get one flight in because of having a large active membership.
The other thing would be to try to get local and national government officials interested in our hobby/sport. Nice to have people in high places on our side. As far as the noise situation is concerned, I seriously doubt that if there is anything practical that anyone can or will do.
