RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Let's face it, pilots have some of the biggest egos to be found on planet Earth. Be they full scale pilots or rc pilots, egos abound. I, too, in earlier times, had to put...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Whenever we have fun flys here, we contact the local newspaper and the local TV and radio stations days in advance. Our fun flys always make the paper and are on the evening and nightly newscasts on...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

I think you guys nailed it square on the head! We are living in the "instant gratification" age. I have had a love affair going with aircraft as far back as I can remember. When I was 5 years old,...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

I endured nasty comments from USAF flight instructors also, but I'll be damned if I will use that same nastiness when I instruct r/c students. I have found praise and encouragement to work far...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Why isn't the AMA growing? Lack of perceived need. Most young guys buy an electric park flyer, and maybe they take it to their local flying field, because maybe the hobby shop told them to do so. ...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

RC Modeler magazine (R.I.P.) was that way toward the end. There could have been a turd and a couple warped 2x4s in the kit box, but the reviewer would have gushed at how wonderful the kit was.

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Of course you won't read a bad review in Model Aviation, they're not stupid enough to bite the hand that feeds them.

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Yep, this is the case I was referring to. Joe (Armstead) had to take the AMA to court to get them to pay his claim.

I think he's being a wise guy! Maybe he's one of those "young punks"...:D

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Amen! There are two clubs I belong to, club # 1 has the "clique mentality" that if you don't have a trailer full of giant scale gassers, if you fly a heli or a .40 size glow airplane, then you're...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Well, I don't believe age alone is the sole qualifier whether someone is a grump or not. We have a couple gentlemen in our club who are 80+ years old, and they are a hoot to fly with! They have a...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

I feel sorry for you guys who go out and fly alone. For me, it's as much about the laughter and companionship with my fellow flyers as it is about flying. We don't put up with jerks or loudmouths...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

Damn straight! I have taught more people to fly over the years than I can remember, but each and every one of them was an AMA member before we even had the first lesson. If someone is going to...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

At the two clubs I am a member of, BOTH require AMA membership in order to fly. Why is that such a big deal for some? If I want to go fishing, I am required to buy a fishing license. If I want to...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

The dynamic has changed, no doubt about it. Before the electric revolution, if someone wanted to get into rc flying, they had to buy a IC plane and all that goes with it, and they usually had to fly...

RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........

You are correct, your homeowner's insurance is primary, unless you don't have homeowner's insurance. In that case, AMA insurance is considered the primary, and you're covered.
