    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    I am sure IMAC members are tickled to death with the AMA right now.

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    On a different note. I have been checking into ultralights. It just may be a cheaper hobby with less regulation and I can land and takeoff at my club field with no AMA or dues.

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    I was being sarcastic, but aside from that, this is how stupid they are. To include model aircraft as real aircraft. Our society in general is screwed. But hey!!! at least everyone got the "change" they wanted!

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    I think that being they ruled that our planes are "aircraft" , I think that would make our aircraft just as important in the airspace, that we have a right to be in, being that we are genuine FAA registered aircraft! Kind of a stupid predicament the faa put on themselves. I guess they will have...

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    I admit that I don't know a lot about IMAC the organization, but, do you guys think that they could be the new advocate for airplane guys? Why should AMA be the defacto mouthpiece for all rc enthusiasts. If airplane and heli flyers abandoned the "Academy of Drone Asshats" and pumped money into...

    Are you going to register with the FAA? Cast Your Vote!

    If they decide that ama members are exempt from registering at all, I may re-join ama. Until all this gets settled, I will refrain from the sport. Hopefully they will just separate model aircraft and gps/fpv aircraft the way it should be. I see fpv being outlawed eventually anyways due to the...

    A More Effective Solution to the Drone Problem?

    I think an air cannon firing a wadded nest of fishing line and sinkers would be pretty comical. I don't have a problem with people flying them at clubs or farmland, but I know the cities will start using them to check our yards for code violations such as the classic cars and vintage snowmobiles...

    You can buy cellphone jammers online that will do the same thing.

    They must be more than just toys if the government is worried enough to register who owns them.

    Are you going to register with the FAA? Cast Your Vote!

    Chickenballs, I read that on the ama website but as far as that being said, they said they were going to ask for that when they meet with the FAA. Funny how they make that statement before they know it will be approved.

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    That I know of, this thread is about the AMA going away. I don't know of anyone on this thread saying "don't register with the faa." And like it or not, quads or hexes or fixed wing aircraft not flying with line of sight and through goggles and gps aid is not the same as my aerobatic plane or a...

    What would you do with all that money????????

    As I said in a different thread, I would give a bunch to family and friends first, then I would start a new organization to defend our rights to fly model aircraft. I would have a few of the outspoken fellas from this site be on the board of this new organization. Of course, they would all get...

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    I think people would like to discuss their dreams about the lottery money too, so I started a thread in the "off topic" section here. It should be fun to watch. I agree there needs to be an American arf company but the chinese work for like ten bucks a month so we can't compete price wise...

    What would you do with all that money????????

    I could not find a thread anywhere else on this .Ok, so it is the question every one has been talking about with friends and family. So what would you do with the powerball money if you won it?

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    It is interesting to see some of the takes on this. I agree people need to step down. I still think that it was the plan from the beginning to incorporate the faa/ama fees all together. That was the reason for the ama rate hike.Everyone gets upset, then the ama swoops in and saves the day by...
