The actions of one always reflect on the many.
Wow, thats a hard standard to live by,
or is it a double standard.... lets check if it is:
WHo remebers the guy that posted this one-
I recently was working in the basement of my apartment on several planes. A retired friend came in and expressed a real sincere interest in the hobby. He then went on to relate a bad expereince that he had which over a year ago turned him away from the hobby. He went to a "SANCTIONED" CLUB field near where I live in Delaware (I'll leave the club name out). He stated that the men who were present were hesitant to talk to him, short and acted "aloof" and were consuming alcohol. This is not the first time I have heard this about this particular "CLUB." He just decided that he would choose another hobby for himself and his wife and he did not know where else to fly. Oh, I'll add that the membership meeting was only once a year so unless one of these "aloof" guys is willing to take you under his wing you won't be flying. Needless to say I'm going to teach him how to fly.
SO,
if we hear about some non-ama guys being bad aeromodel flyers,
we can just slap the sterotype down and say non-ama guys are often and likely to be bad.
just like we here can see some AMA club guys being jerks,
which means, according to the standards set by Kemo,
AMA club guys are often and likely to be jerks
Sorry Kemo,
I dont think your Bad Apple Ruins Bushell metric holds true
in regard to casing sterotypes just on membership in AMA (for good or bad)
We could just crunch the Death Toll numbers for AMA vs Non-AMA,
I recall the 2 in Hungary and the Thigh-Prop Bleedout a not too long ago.
WHo's got at least 3 non-ama Death By Model Plane Strikes
to make it at least be a tie with the killerklubs that do it right.
Who is killing more folks, AMA or nonAMA?
I really doubt Kemo wants his standard applied to
If the actions of one AMAer kills someone it reflects on the many.
<Should we count the BikeRacer vs Chain, AMA"Club" liable death too? Was the club found liable, I havent heard final outcome of that one
ok, the Hungary might have been just a professional flying at a suitable and endorsed place, not actually in AMA>
