Default RE: Dave Browns perception

Wrong. All the airhog products I have mentioned have Lipo batteries and the instruction sheets in the package contain the appropriate warning.
Wrong? Guess you've never seen an Airhogs commercial? They are targeting 2 people. Kids and people to fly products indoors, that's their target audience. You are trying to look at their products from the eyes of the "hobbyist", which they could care less about. They will take you as a one time sale or a life sale, they don't care, they are in the business of selling a product, not a hobby.

Any like I said, if I were the boss at Airhogs I wouldn't ever consider partnering with the AMA. One they are on the steep incline. Whereas the AMA is on the decline. What's that say alone. Two, Airhogs products DO NOT require a membership of any kind and could hurt sales. I mean you can't even get AMA info in most glow products and you'll never see them in Airhogs products, ever. Don't think of Airhogs as an "RC" product, because they certainly don't. They are toys and they are purely interested in profits only, god bless them.
