The real problem is that the park flyers are going to get the general public to look at all flyers as a nussance. The park flyers have to be organized or communities are giong to start banning all rc aircraft. But tiers are not the answer.
This I agree with.
I have said before, the real benefit of the AMA (and its insurance) is that it enables club fields to exist. If all public parks banish models (as they have in my neck of the woods) then the AMA now starts to have a real, tangible benefit to park flyers. I think this will happen over time, but not sure if it will happen fast enough to save the AMA membership decline.
