Default RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Cbt

I find it interesting how you think.

I agree to disagree...and here is why. I can't think of any successful person or organization that has made it unless they put out a lot of effort. That is what we need to do for the sport. And evangelism has nothing to do with it. What I can say with conviction is if we follow your basic premise that suggest we just sit back and watch what happens will lead to what we have today. Remember that doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is the definition of being nuts.

Again, I say we need to go out and help people find what makes our sport so good. I know you don't agree, but that is what makes me want to do more. I have been a club member at the Middlesex Modelers, Rocket City R/C Club and R/C World spanning 43 years. I have brought young people to the sport via flying demos both copter and fixed wing, electric and glow/gas and finally in full scale. I have taught more people than I can recall to fly and in fact I taught a 6 year old to fly a giant scale J-3 to fly with precision. I did it w/o a buddy box standing on my knees and now he is now a FO for JetBlue.

So my point is to get off the side lines and get into the game, yes?
