Okay, Mr Doom and Gloom, no one has said the post cards are a bad thing. In fact, I think it's a good place to start. It shows that the AMA board is willing to work with communities in setting up...

I look at the way it was written and what has been reported on the local nightly news. In Seattle alone, for example:
1) A drone was flown into Seattle's "Big Wheel", damaging a prop. The drone...

Sounds to me like the AMA is trying to take credit for what the local news shows are doing. Every time a story aired, the word got out that Congress and the FAA were looking at taking action to stop...

I can agree with you when it comes to the pilot, though being told by the club to come fly mitigates that a bit. The club should have known better than just invite him to come out and fly.

I'd like to know if the story goes any further. Obviously, the lady was trying to make the pilot look bad and, not knowing about the camera being on, it would look bad on her if it went to court

Did you submit that information to the admins? They can only take action if they know about it.

I can see that I'd be doing a lot of cleaning up in this thread if I was a moderator. ENOUGH WITH THE PERSONAL ATTACKS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S STARTING TO LOOK VERY CHILDISH TO THE REST OF...

I've been away from this thread for awhile so, somewhat belatedly, would like to thank Franklin for this post. It clearly shows how fragile the front fan on a modern turbine is.
Now, let me ask...

This hearing is almost a joke. They are talking about things not even related to R/C drones/quads/aircraft. Why wasn't there anyone representing the AMA there? The panel consisted of reps from...

I doubt a builder will want to change the bureau number on a scale plane if it's being built for competition and judging. Going back to the Wildcat, I doubt many would change a prominent four digit...

While I like this, in general terms, it does have a flaw.
Would you want to build a scale model of, say a Wildcat(sticking to Naval aircraft since you are familiar with them:)), with all the...

I'm not sure why this was brought up since they DO NOT apply to models. We can't legally fly over people or above 400 feet, PERIOD. The aircraft minimum of 1000ft and helicoper minimum of 500ft are...
