Wake up! Time to fly!
Hey guys.. AMA members or supporters are not the only ones who need to address this. Seems there is legislation being proposed to repeal section 336 which allows us all to fly as model pilots.
I am not sure how much of this is the AMA covering their butts over control or if this is a full on threat to all of us but it surely can not hurt for all of us to pester the people that represent us to not screw us all over. If this is a real threat then we all need to stand up and let them know how many of us REAL pilots fly and follow the rules.
I will be writing emails and probably calling some people to voice my opinions and will make a point to mention Flite Test and what we do here as a community to show them what they would be destroying. You can stand up for the AMA if you wish but be sure to add your involvement here at Flite Test so they know there is a bigger community here they have been over looking.
This could also be a great opportunity to let them know there is another potential community based organization (CBO) that is bigger then AMA. This could open the door for when the FT crew decide to step up later as planned to become a CBO if there are enough of us that email or call the politicians.
Just be respectful and specific about what the hobby means to you and we need more places we are allowed to fly rather then taking them away making it less apt people will fly illegally if enough designated area is given for our growing community.
Anyway here is the AMA video.. you decide what you want to do to keep us in the air.
