I think it sums it all up, to me this is a very dangerous agenda, and could lead to dramatic harm to the hobby and even the outright banning of RC nation wide. We can't stop anyone from taking a "park flyer" to a public park and causing harm, but do we have to "legitimize" the pratice by lending AMA's endorsement of it?
Wait a second, because the AMA put together a program which insures it'smembers, provides a quarterly magazine and creates some kind of organization, then that could lead to the end of RC flying nationwide??? Holy drama story in the making!!! Now I see why some people join one political party and others join the differ. There must truly be more then 1 type of human mentality.
Dion,
The problem with the PPP is that the AMA put the program together against the wishes of the majority of those whom they polled in regard to the e-ticket program last year. This is the sum total of the reasons that I, personally am against programs that make a difference in the classification of members. You expect people to join in large numbers, when they are fully aware that they will have absolutely no say in the governance of that group. Do you really think that the majority of the prospective membership is that stupid? Again, do you ever read what you type? Do you think before you turn your fingers loose on the keyboard? It does not really appear so.
