RC airplane nut, its not at all clear what your point is. I was mearly pointing out the often misunderstood and under utilized fact that Youth memberships in the AMA are avaliable and the cost of membership in the AMA is not a road block to young folks.

The existence of this youth membership has been of great help in getting a number of our younger flyers going and we even had one who is now in college at Embry Riddle under an ama schlorship.

I have no idea whether or not the original poster is elgible but it seems several other posters in this thread is.
