Many AMA members aren't happy with the AMA and the AMA has missed a major segment of this hobby. In fact, I would say that electric parkflyers are the driving force of this hobby. The AMA has left some gaping holes for another association, like themselves, to step in and make a huge profit by doing things right.

I doubt that any AMA like association is poised for huge profits via the electric modeler but more to the point you are mixing apples and oranges since AMA is a NFP business.
I'm not talking specifically about foamies. I'm using them as an example of how the AMA really doesn't pay much attention to the largest segment of this hobby. Thus the reason why they are NOT a monopoly. Another company/NFP business could easily step in here.
