Default RE: Dave Browns perception

When you buy a model rocket or replacement engines from wal-mart there is a copy of the NAR Model Rocket Safey Code and contact information inside the package. Not so with the several Aero Aces, Storm Launcher, or Havoc Heli I bought.
Is this a demonstration of a responsible manufacturer or an active sanctioning body? I don't know.

My take on Dave's comments was for us as AMA members to welcome these interested ones without making them feel like they have junk and encourage them to take the next steps into the more advanced forms of model aeronautics. That starts with the people at the field the day someone shows up, not someone in Muncie.
Should AMA try to get a blip in the package of Air Hogs and other similar products? Absolutely!
