NOT elitist, just simple busness. I suppose you want a cut rate price on your car liscense or your home taxes.

It's just a fee that gets paid. One that was paid for decades by everyone uniformly whether it was a 55 pound monster or a less than 4oz indoor rubberpowered free flight. Yet for decades no one offered a discount nor did any of the participants complain about paying for thier AMA membership. Quite offten the indoor guys pay LOTs more to rent the places they fly in.

Now, magically for some reason $28.05 is keeping hords of new modelers from joining an organization that did most of the leagal groundwork that allows them to fly those models in the US.

And Saving $28.05 is going to make them jump up and make them join an organization they had no interest in joining the first place.

And the AMA IS the CHEAPEST simplest way to get that almighty insurance to cover the landowner. $20.00 a year is a pretty good deal.

Not elitists just simple.
