I'm sorry to hear that 
Are you going to be okay? Maybe talk to a friend, don't keep it inside...it isn't healthy.

Same as I did today. I don't even live in the U.S. but coming to Flite Fest so I must as well.

Do you technically need it for Flite Fest? Also how does flite test work if you don't have AMA do they have something similar in CA?
andre mentioned it in a podcast dont remember the name but i dont even know if ft accepts foreign model aviation association licences dont think so
They (the FAA) can come to my large acreage of non-zoned private property in uncontrolled airspace break down a gate locked by federal statute (small alcohol fuel producer requirements). Then the BATF people and the FAA can fight it out while I fly as usual! They will not get 5 cents from me!
I am sick of legislation needed by population centers filled with persons who cannot self regulate being imposed on areas with populations approaching 1 person per square mile or far less.

I think the AMA has a deal with the MAAC, but not a lot of other associations.
The German DMFV has over 85 000 members and my membership includes a worldwide insurance in- and outside of model airfields. I still had to register with the AMA at Flite Fest last year...
As someone who has not and will not be registering I'm genuinely concerned that the FAA or other law enforcement will have a presence at Flite Fest (Or really any large RC events). Probably a bit paranoid but still it seems that hotspots of RC activity would be a great opportunity for the FAA to try and flex their muscles.

I agree Tritium. I give you my applause too.
As with many government things I paid mine with some disgust over the implementation. I did get my money back but I'm thinking that won't be much of a consolation down the road.
I think I too could probably get away with disobeying the law but then there's that little thing, my conscience, reminding me to submit to authority. Uff. chuhh-ching.

Wake up! Time to fly!
I thought it out and paid my 5 dollars. Now I am legally an airplane. When / if some govt jerk comes up and tries to punk me over flying I will let them annoy me and take away my concentration. If I should crash then I will have to make them call the FAA, the local police (besides themselves) the fire department and other emergency responders who MUST be present when an aircraft crash happens and have the offending authority person arrested for interfering with the safe operation of an aircraft and or as a terrorist for harassing the pilot directly causing the crash. Add to that a TON of local news media, a few blood sucking lawers, and I am sure they would start to rethink this whole stupid deal with trying to manage a hobby that people have done for nearly 100 years now.
Just kidding btw. I figured I would post something so crazy just like the idiots that made these laws for toys to begin with. I am NOT looking to cause a problem but nor will I tolerate any infringement on one of the few things I am physically able to do for fun.
