opps read my zeros wrong but it is still a ton of money and i am still sure the AMA could get a comprimal insurance that would cover an increase in jet and giant size without raising costs but i guess they can use the insurance as a reason so as not to increase anything and to keep the same stale rules in place instead of doing what members want. like i said sooner or later they will come around or some other organization will get large enough to pull enough ppl away they wont have the hobby monopolized. and yes they do have a monopoly right now not for the general average flyer but for those that like to compete or go to flyins etc to chat with other flyers with the same interests. but we can all hope that those ppl that complain but dont vote will get off their butts and get the old farts out. either way over time they will eventually leave one way or the other and the younger generation will gain control and bring the hobby up to date
