RE: What changes at the AMA are DESPERATELY needed?
I still use and love my "Egg Beater" drill! I think they are still available. I have a Black & Decker cordless drill that is all but shot because the battery packs (which are still available) cost almost as much as a new drill motor! I just can bring myself to throw the danged thing away and buy a new one. They make the battery pack so you have to break it to get at, and replace the batteries. Right now, I think I'm going to break into them and see if i can replace the cells! If I can't fix, I'm really not out anything.
People here are claiming Model Aviation is loosing money. Is this true, or just another conjur from the folks that feel $58.00 is just to much money to spend supporting model avaition on a national level? I think MA is the best magazine available! I like to read watching TV or just before going to sleep. I will never want to do all my reading here, on a "vibrating" immobile CRT screen!
