Oh, we realize that this is RCUniverse.com, but the topic of discussion is geared to and around the AMA. The AMA is an entity in which you must hold membership to have relavency. By posting your AMA number, you are showing your bona-fides that you are in fact a member, and have a real voice in what is going on within the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Without that membership, you are just a bloody cipher, and in this case the cipher is a zero.

Bill, AMA 4720
and by going to the AMA website and plugging that number in, you can find out who the heck I am, and that I am an open member in good standing.
