So you are saying to get involved with another non-profit like BSA would be illogical? To develop the relationship with companies like Estes, Cobra, and Aerotech is beyond the ability of AMA but fully within the reach of NAR??

I respectfully dis-agree.

This is not the goal of this well thought thread. I notice that no comments are made about making the kid who shows up with an Aero Ace feel good about his entry into model aeronautics. That was what I understood the editorial to be about.
