I figure since I'm already breaking the law with my high capacity magazines, I might as well break the law and fly my model airplane.

hey guys, obviously emotions and tension are running high right now so let's just take a deep breath and let the dust settle before we go blowing the place up over this, ok?

i understand the many positions people are expressing, i don't blame anyone for feeling one way or another. let's offer each other a little respect and try to keep the discussion objective and civil.

i wish i could make this situation better for everyone but i can't so let's at least not take it out on each other.

thanks,
bart

Sorry Bart I do better I promise

I'm looking forward to going home and working on my airplane today and looking forward to many events this year! (at AMA recognized clubs and fields) LOL.

that's the amazing thing, just do what you've always done and don't let the little change in procedures spoil the fun.

dancing chickens make everything better!

Looks like AMA is trying to save their ass, just sent out an E-mail about car insurance discounts for being an AMA member.

Just another thing that shows me that the AMA has really lost it's focus.

So @Bartman , in all seriousness you are a full scale pilot, and you also have this website and a MR site. So you may have some conflict of interest for the MR guy's but in all honesty......do we even have a prayer at this point with the FAA to get them to recognize the differences between airplanes and "drones"? Outside of the fact that they are breaking the law and all that other stuff, down to brass tacks is it even worth the fight from us or will it have to go to court and government levels?

Why don't we start "Plank Lives Matter" and go protest and shut down the faa headquarters for a couple days.
