The AMA does alot for all, as it should. It will never cater to individuals, or small groups. That is probably the biggest reason for most of the hyperbole on this sight. "Yeah they should do that", is usually mumbled by the individual or small group who wants something without working for it. In a recent magazine article, a well known Modeling person made some rather self serving remarks when talking about his dealings with the AMA. 1. I wanted to do this but they wouldn't let me, there buttheads. 2 this limit here sucks, there buttheads. 3 this requirement sucks, there Buttheads. Everyone else does it, why cant we? Not the exact words but you get the idea. guess if he didnt' get immediate satisfaction from you, you were a butthead, so of course the AMA is the problem, not maybe him ? The AMA and its magazine is FOR ALL OF MODEL AVIATION, not one small part. Without the magazine listing all the numbers to call and Depts available, most people wouldn't know how to contact the AMA. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DONT LIKE THE MAGAZINE, donate it to your nearest school or kid on the block. That reflects better upon you than just burning it,or throwing it away. Hey that could be your way to promote the AMA, jeez who would of thought of that ?
