RE: ama rule
I think you misunderstood. The idea was for a planned event to take a raggedy old trainer and intentionally shoot at it with a paintball gun or airsoft gun. Not shooting at the models of unwilling participants. This could be a huge money maker for a club if it turns out AMA would allow it at a club funtion. Obviously safety would have to be top priority ensuring the outline given to us by AMA is followed. ie. Not flying within 25 ft of another person other than the pilot and his/her assistant. I am also sure the target aircraft would be the only plane in the air during the event. Hell I have a gutted Nexstar that has so much CA and Epoxy in it it cant fly straight. It would be worthless to a beginner as it is now harder to fly than a most sport flyers.
