My own thought, often iterated, is that the AMA should use competition for publicity.

Unfortunately, most of the competition in model aviation do not present well to the public. The only events that do seem to attract the public are Top Gun, RC Scale, Indoor RC, 3D events and maybe some of the combat events. The precision aerobatics type events just are too hard to appreciate by the general public.

My 2 cents worth.
