What a load of manure. I can tell you from first hand experience and without a doubt that a very high percentage of the park flyers want to go on and fly more complex and higher performance models. Your thesis is severely flawed. I have witnessed many park flyers become larger model flyers. What is not available/educated is the means, by the nature of the framework, as it commonly perceived within the AMA…this PPP stuff will only bolster a more convoluted structure.
EXACTLY! Once they GET IN, they either upgrade ... or continue to only enjoy parkies, yes that makes sense. But here is a newsflash ... parkies growing .... AMA shrinking. FIRST you have to get them in, you can't educate someone you don't have. Is the AMA supposed to spend our money on national advertising? About 5 minutes worth of ads on prime time TV and the AMA is out of business. The PPP IS A STRATEGY to educate.
Less complex…what a joke! The answer has always been here but most do not understand it properly and apparently you are one of those.
Yeah LCS, I don't get it. Either do the EC, Muncie and the 300 assistants that signed up to help PPP's. You're the only one that understands how it all works. If you felt that strongly about how the system works, you might want to run for EC and show us how it's done. So far JC and DM have been rather impressive.
