Received this yesterday via email.Just curious who else got it and did you respond.
" The Academy of Model Aeronautics is conducting an opinion survey regarding the use of small unmanned aircraft systems including technologies such as multirotor, "drones", First-person-view (FPV), autopilots, and aerial video/image recording as well as COMMERCIAL USE of sUAS. We would greatly appreciate a few minutes of your time "

It's awfully late don't you think? The snake has been out of the bag for a long time so closing it now won't do any good.

The real trick would be getting the snakes back in the bag.

My first reaction to the survey was, "Hey, they are FINALLY listening!"

As I got deeper into the questions I started to get the feeling the intent of the survey was to simply glean marketing intel regarding drone usage instead of an honest effort to listen to members' wishes.

I sincerely hope I am wrong.

Not sure what they were after. I answered honestly and from not only a members position but as a club officers point of view. Many of the questions I checked other and responded due to the fact the the wording of those questions did not accurately fit my position on the question asked.

I wish I had gotten that e-mail, but of course they don't want to hear from Leader Members. The FPV flying is just an out door simulator that can damage property and hurt people. We have a couple guys in our club, we just land and wait until they are done with their 5 minutes of "FLYING". No big deal yet.

Just my opinion

I'm a Leader Member and I got it. Might be a random member survey. I will say that the AMA has strayed away from soliciting LM input on things. Even the Leader Member page on the website hasn't been updated in years.

It's random.
