You are missing my point.
Estes has NAR all over the packaging and pamphlets inside the package and cost $62 for an over 21 adult to join. Pattern/benchmark from that organization is my point.
Oh yea and back to topic. Be nice and helpfull to the kid who shows up with the airhog. That's what the high powered rocket guys do when you come to their meets with a wal-mart kit. He gets to launch right next to the big guys.[sm=thumbup.gif]
FWIW I have launched 100s of rockets but am not a member of NAR and am a member of my club due to the way they treated my son and I when we showed up.
Airhogs and Estes are going after 2 different people. Airhogs will go after anyone with a credit card or cash. Estes targets hobbyists and trying to keep their clients for life. Their marketing technique are much different. Airhogs has something to lose by scaring customers into thinking they may or may not have to join a club or get some kind of insurance. Afterall most of their products are for indoor use and don't contain explosives.
Hey I'm only trying to show you the reality of things. I believe that Airhogs has no reason and never will add AMA literature to their products, ever. Because whatever marketing tactics Airhogs are using, they are doing it the right way. They are trying to get it while they can. The AMA needs to sew it's own hole.
