I don't suppose I will be able to tell you guys what happens when I am getting ready to leave the field any more. I have been called on the carpet for being Argumentative, Bashing, and using Profanity. Sorry if I stepped on your feelings.

As to why the AMA needs Park Fliers ... They (we) don't. Plain, Simple, and to the point. We need model airplane enthusiasts. We don't need a tiered membership. We don't need a class system (even though we already have one ... kinda-sorta). We don't need people who fly things other than mainstream model airplanes flying at different venues. We don't need a second level of Insurance. You should either get in, or get out, or just get out of the way. I personally don't care what you paid for your model airplane. I used to fly with a $6.95 Ramrod 250, and a $16.95 engine, and a Tatone tick-off timer, and DT fuses. I didn't have 30 bucks in the whole thing, but I was an AMA member. The price of your model has not one thing to do with you joining. Pay up, or dry up. I don't care which.
