I admire you Brits and the LMA. To bad we dont have the same over here....without the controversy. How do you guys overthere see the modelinig scene here in the USA.




well, i personally dont take much notice, we have the BMFA (British model flying association) in short, they look after our interests, their fee includes insurance, to £10million, they, and the LMA liase with the CAA, like your FAA, we generally get left alone,

then we have the LMA, we sort out the over 7kg aircraft, very very vigorous with this, in fact, i learned today that someone being a tad dishonest about an overweight model(limit is 44kg, then it has to be inspected) was fined £2000, by the CAA, and his modeling future is a tad in jeoprdy, dont know who it is, and dont want to know, the LMA have shows, and fly-ins, (not everyone wants to be a showflyer), but both organisations have one thing in common, they operate profficency schemes, if you want more details, all are available,

Do you have organisations like ours? some of our guys have flown out in the US, with no bother, if you suffer from polotics, then thats the problem the world over, we tend to be laid back, and get on with it, when a problem comes up, we deal with it, and move on, and generally, enjoy our flying
