OK, but there is more then one way to skin a cat. The guy that brought this subject was the one whose hobby shop discounted fuel for AMA members, which I think I thought was a good idea and he sounded happy about it. You think your idea is good .... great, now they have 2 to choose from. Thanks for you input. Potatoe, Potato.

I said earlier in another thread today if we all had the same ideas, then we'd all be flying Wright Flyers.

Like I said, this is how it works in full scale aviation. You pull up for gas, show them your AOPA card and chances are you'll get a discount since your a AOPA member. Same goes for supplies in the pilot shop. Proven to work in that industry, guess it doesn't carry over into little plane industry. What does the the FBO or pilot shop get back from AOPA and EAA? NOTHING. Instead they are both helping to keep the GA industry GROWING and be part of our little own happy family. It naturally works out to be a win win for everyone.
Hmmm...Interesting to say the least. You think you thought??????? That explains a lot to me...evidentially a dual personality exists. Now things make a little more sense.

Now STL...Peter Pan...or whoever you are...you have not answered the question at hand...I will ask again to clarify.

Do you or do you intend to give a discount for your little planes to AMA members in particular?
