Crispy says there are only 670 some odd "AMA Haters" who have made their feelings heard loud and clear to HQ.

Easier to just cross post this comment in multiple threads than provide a source for the info eh? If that's the case it should be interesting to see all the great minds (and builders) who step in to fill the void. Can we nominate some folks, I have some ideas.

From seeing the last couple of photos of Bob Brown in MA magazine it appears he'll be greeting folks at the door of the Muncie Wal-Mart or bagging groceries at the supermarket

yup, that's probable, sure thing.

So hey...where did you read that again? Is this wishful thinking on your part, or something you actually read?

I asked him this morning to post the link to where he read this , but since no link has been produced in half a day's time , I guess we can file this "breaking news story" in the filing cabinet labeled "BullStuff"

If he says it enough times...it might come true. He accomplished what he intended to do.

I read that it's 10-2 at the first one, then 3-5 at the second one. For a small fee, he'll even sign it and take pics too!

Exactly the info. I was looking for. Now I can go to both and create a real unique signature drone collector's item. I'm definitely in for the pics as well! Bonus, bonus, bonus!

I never said they are haters, we don't even know how many of them are even AMA members. Seems only logical if you're going to run a petition for organizational change the signatures would best be limited to AMA members.

Agreed. They need to get a room and work on their act. It's starting to get repetitious and stale.

And yet you follow right along looking to get in on the fun (speaking of partners). Always good for a hit and run comment. Got any of that data I asked you about before...or still stuck on Seriously?

Wow, surprised they have not shut the thread down by now ! All of you right on, AMA what a tremdous waste of my money for 30 long years, the only reason I would consider government in my face with my flying , is All club fields that have AMA sanctioned events will demand evidence of compliance with new regulations, so the government will use AMA against us to Inforce said regulation, that is what you most definitely will see coming next. AMA I know they fought a battle and for awhile, but they have lost the will to win in my eyes, sad just sad to see this

Depends how up to speed and in what century said club officers are! I'll wager a good portion don't even know what Sec 336 is , what is enforceable , and what isn't.

Gimme a break. You would think that the FAA was asking U to give up your favorite R/C TOY. Man the FAA could not have been more lenient unless they'd paid ya to Register.
