The AMA help's keep us within our right's to fly. They participate in the legal process of our Government, (FAA, FCC and so on) and keep all our voice's alive. They exercise our strength in number's. We need AMA.
Exactly right, love or hate the AMA without them we wouldn't be able to fly RC so freely, not by a longshot.
You guys might not be aware of this but every single day in Israel, 1 or more Palestinian is sending a homemade radio controlled plane into Israel with small explosvies. You think our goverment doesn't know about this? You have no idea how bad YOU need the AMA right now.
