man.. this is when it gets frustrating .. the AMA takes the initiative to do something positive to work with the federal govt to do something that will help ANY modeler, whether it's a weekend warrior or a big name, and people STILL complain. I swear there is no making some people happy. To thoroughly enjoy this hobby I use the following recipe :

1. Pay my AMA dues each year
2. Build and maintenance when the weather is bad
3. Fly as much as possible when the weather is good and enjoy the comradeire with friends.

Plain and simple !
