Default RE: A Conversation with Dave Mathewson Concerning PPP

Exactly Vicman!

I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 rx’s (I’m switching to 2.4Ghz, 4/year) and trying to find good homes fore the ones I no longer need. But when it comes to the AMA or the FCC telling any of use what to do we all do a risk vs benefit analysis and then make up our own minds. So thinking that AMA can pass a rule and it is going to happen is just not real world.

But if the FCC says mister PF manufacturer you can only sell PF on frequencies 10-29 in the united states the problem is handled. Of coarse AMA will have to role out that program and get guy’s like VicMan and I to understand that if they crash their pride and joy and it is on a channel below 30 there is no insurance unless it is a PF, and visa versa. My only question would be what is the definition of a park flier and what is the definition of what can use channel 30 and above.

-So the plan would be to get FCC to divide the present bands. Forcing manufacturers to produce only on FCC approved channels.
-AMA would have to come up with definitions of PF and the stuff I fly and monitor it so we don’t get any manufacturer end a rounds through a loop hole.
-AMA has to role the program out to you and I with a time delay so guys like Vicman and I can switch without a huge cost.
