Thank you for your post, rcplane-RCU. When one serves the public, they work hard on projects they genuinely care about just to have some neck bearded jackwagon with a third grade education get on the...

AMA did not ask Congress to require model pilots to join the AMA. I'm sure they would have liked to, but they knew better than to get that greedy.
From the AMA blog October, 2012:

Traditionally, the salaried guys were organizing contests and helping flying sites get established along with curating and producing information for members to use. I don't see as much of that...

They didn't go quite that far. What they pushed for is the whole CBO required thing, which would have put them into a good position to be the default CBO. That's only 1 step down from directly asking...

There are results that one can reasonably be expected to have foreseen, and there are results that only become clear in hindsight. Sometimes a guy makes the best decision he can with the information...

It was a big swing and a miss, for sure. And I agree that pushing for the government to require AMA membership for all RC pilots was the big misstep that cost them much of the goodwill they had...

The AMA enforces the safety code by making compliance a term in the insurance policy. Many other industries do the same, and it works. If a pilot breaks the code and has a claim as a result, that...

I didn't say they were all newbies now. I said when this started the AMA was in a position to have to figure it out. A guy (Hanson) who had not been a government relations guy before took on the role...

Oh I think they saw it. They saw it well enough to propose to the FAA that drones should be required to join AMA and fly under the AMA safety code in the name of safety. It's just that the FAA didn't...

I think it's important to remember that the AMA's involvement with the FAA was not what the leadership wanted. I highly doubt anybody in Muncie sat in a meeting and said, "You know what we really...

I don't believe the AMA has declined because of strategic decisions they've made. Interests ebb and flow.
We'd probably all agree that the AMA's golden age was the 1950s to around 1990. Who were the...
