Default RE: FAA & AMA - What's Your Vested Interest?

My question to you Sport_Pilot is this: How would you like your voice heard? And what would it say?
Normally I would like the AMA to represent. But I am not sure they are being aggressive enough. It would seem they have abandoned us so that they will become a "Community Based Organization" and insure their monopoly. Rather than argue that no other regulation is needed other than the existing AC or at least a modification of the AC. I probably won't be affected, but I don't see how the sailplane modelers can live with the 400 foot rule. There needs to be a waiver for their activities if it becomes against the law to exceed 400 feet.
