RE: How To Make AMA Perfect
The whole basis of this AMA forum, the way it turns out, is that there is a perceived problem with the dwindling membership. At what point does panic start to set in? When they have to jack up the membership to fee to $60? [X(] Maybe when a flying field can only be found out in the sticks, because of being squeezed out by soaring land values? If you were to insert a bunch of electric 3D lovin' guys into the leadership, then how would that change our hobby, our situation? Would their attitudes trickle down to the guys in our hobby who don't like this or that due to their personal tastes? Would a changing of the leadership be enough to get the sailboarders, hunters, fishermen, private aviators, joggers, mountain bikers, surfers, couch potatoes* [*sub set, video gamers, netaholics and TV blobs], bar flies, 7 day a week entreprenuers, skiers, greasers* [*subset, street rodders, drag racers, road racers], stamp collectors, etc., to drop what they're doing with their limited free time and money so they can immerse themselves in RC flying? I doubt it. This sport has a way of selling itself, and there are more ways to get involved with RC planes nowadays without the help of the AMA than ever before, just a couple reasons/examples why the AMA is where it is.
