When you speak to the EC ask if anyone has done the physics on the damage a 2lb 60 mph object can do. We had a club member struck on the leg by a 16oz foamie last summer, and because he is on blood thinner the resulting bruise and clot put him in the hospital for three days. Come on guys, a 2lb airplane can result in severe injury also, a seperate class of member! NO WAY! My experience has been our club is better off today because our park district understands we are organized and insured. Now others may tell them they are safer and thus require less insurance and less restriction, will just lead to as much confusion with public officials as it has with thsoe of us in AMA who don't get it either. Some of our members fly the range from foam to big gassers, if we have a full member who does foam only that is fine, but to be in our club he is a full AMA member, and that won't change. So if there are people out there who fly PF only and want to organize seperately that is their right, but should the AMA help them compete with us for resources we have been paying for years? I ain't happy.
