I never said I was a legal expert. I am a very experienced engineer who writes specifications and that the terminology on the registration was not enforceable. The AMA later said the same thing. BTW engineers are not good spellers.

I can't help it if you don't understand the term "agreement in principle".

A completely true statement. Notice I did not say it would happen now, a year from now or whatever. But it will happen.

What's the difference between "agreeing to use the AMA number" ( which isn't happened yet nor is there even a time frame) which you seem to think is written in stone and the FAA agreeing to work with the AMA in the DC issue? Isn't the fact they are willing to sit down and try a hash out the issue sort of a geeing?

To date, FAA has agreed in principle to several proposed initiatives that will help ease this process for our members. Specifically, they are:
- AMA and the FAA are working to streamline the registration process for AMA members whereby those who register with the FAA will be able to use their AMA number as the primary identification on their model aircraft, as opposed to adding a new federal registration number.
- In addition, AMA members’ federal registration will automatically renew provided membership remains active and current. We are working with FAA in negotiating the renewal fee, but in any case it is envisioned the renewal process will be provided as a member benefit.
- In the future, federal registration will automatically be accomplished upon joining the AMA, eliminating the need to register with both AMA and the FAA.

So the last one is automatic registration. And it one of the initiatives they have "agreed to in principle". Unless misstated by AMA that is a binding contract.
Wow, talk about a stretch.

A binding contract does not guarantee that the other party will not break it.

Aside form the legalese, I see near zero benefit here to AMA members here. The registration process is trivial and only takes a few minutes to complete, renewal is a once every three year event only taking a few minutes to complete, and not having to put my FAA number on my models is trivial. I use a brother label printer and can easily print multi-line labels. Would only take a few minutes to print new two line labels with both numbers on one label.

PS , Sport , before ya say it , yea I know , any charges the FAA were to levy would have to be upheld in a court of law and it's no 100% certainty the FAA would win , yada yada yada , BUT ! , , With the $$$$ you'd spend winning that favorable decision , the FAA will still have won as they will have torn considerable $$$$ outta yer hide in lawyer's fees defending yourself ...

I don't have to register, the AMA does not require it. And I will not fly if they do. I'll wait it out with micro designs if they do.
