I don’t see this as a program to aide park fliers but rather an attempt to get a handle on the monster in the closet, called people not familiar with frequency control flying planes small enough to be flown anywhere. 2.4ghz may put an end to this concern, or it may add to the problem providing a source for cheap radio equipment. But one thing is for sure, after the first incident its to late.
I would much rather put the $$$$ towards getting the government to force all foamies into a specific radio band. I agree that trying to sign these guy’s up will be impossible, but we need to get serious about this now before the ability to have a say in the outcome is still ours.

Hmmmmm............good idea. Have you contacted AMA about supporting this? You seem to be right about the PP program not working out. They may be receptive to an outside-the-box approach to the issue of getting those darned parkies under control.[8D]
