I think providing insurance that allows the chartering of clubs and securing flying sites IS promoting the hobby.
They already do that for the landowner under the existing platform.
We seem to be running in circles here. The purpose of this program is to allow flying sites in urban areas that are too small for gas/glow aircraft. PFer's don't need the area that you do. With a program like this it will make it easier to get land from municipalities designated for rc flying. This is a no brainer.
The current AMA structure allows everything you just said. Also, if the information here is correct, small glow engine planes...which would use the same small fields, are excluded.
I don't see it as a no brainer, I see it as a tiered system.
I am just trying to figure out what STL was saying, it seemed rather confusing.
