    You are correct Stickbuilder. The AMA sicked their attorneys on me.

    You are incorrect in using  the term "order", only a Judge can give that, and didn't. Get your "facts" straight".

    It is funny that the AMA increased their educational focus after they poked me with that stick and found out the People have a stick of their own. Nothing the EC will ever let the members know.

    Funny, I am still a full AMA member, starting a school club and still  in support of the original purpose of the AMA.

    I just don't agree with the current leadership of the AMA and many of the simpletons who jump when DM says jump.

    I certainly think you are the hate monger stickbuilder.

    What did I expect when I first joined as a Parkie? To become a small poart of something that had far less hateful and vindictive members for a start. I was wrong to be so stupid.

    DBCisco.  So that is what the DB stands for.  Well hand, I see you are up to your old tricks, fomenting hate against the AMA. 

     

    What did you expect when you joined as a Parkie, and had no rights? 

     

    Hey, Y'all this cat has already been ordered to cease and desist by an AMA attorney.  Be careful what you say around him.  He is a loose cannon. 

     

    Moderator, everything that I posted can be proven.

    Hamish, I am glad you consider $8,000 of somone else money as "barely affected". That was the cost to repair the biplane.

    Tom.

    "BTW - you guys do know about the pressure the commercial side is putting on the FAA in the USA right?"

     

    The commercial regulations have little bearing on what will happen to recreational use.

    Hi Tom!

    Im Not arrogant, as an AMA member for 12 years i support anything that for good help our hobby, but what I dont support is people that without knowing what we do here start saying we are the problem... thats an arrogant and ingorant position :) Their forum (RCU) holds whatever they post as a paper holds whatever you write on it... they can say what ever they think but the truth is that their comments wont affect us , they complain of us as children when they can not sustain a reasonable explanation to the problem. 

    The solution to the problem is to unite all and carry one voice in defense

    Blaming others wont help in anything...

    HA! the biplane crash video is actually a relief...even a little biplane is barely affected by a crash with a (relattivley) huge RC plane!

    BTW - you guys do know about the pressure the commercial side is putting on the FAA in the USA right?

     

    This beast weighs 225lbs and if it was flying over my house you bet I want it regulated and maintained?

     

    This is what the commercial guys are pushing to do with YOUR technology, which I am sure you guys all knew…..

    Just saying...this is why we need to work together, as this effort will help promote Jobs and industry, and we need sesnable regs from the FAA.....that's all.3692176055?profile=original

    Rory Paul (Condor) -  one of the reasons you MAY be getting some push back at the local AMA field is the use of NON standard radio technology…..LOTS of guys are paranoid about interference and all the whopla about Spektrum and getting “Locked Out” in flight by interference…..

    I am one of the ONLY guys I see with a 2.4 Ghz Spektrum analyzer when I fly…..like you said, lots of TOY envy around when they see it, but I can see the RF situation on the band at the TIME I am flying, and make decisions accordingly……most of the FPV and telemetry I have seen at my field (One of the largest in the country) has been 900Mhz or one guy said he was 3 Ghz (same band as cordless phones, just above 2.4?) not really sure…could have been 5.8Ghz….but I could not "See" him.....

    But just like HIV and such, in the USA and I am sure elsewhere, ignorance promotes fear. I would be happy to fly with you guys as long as you’re not running 3 watts on 2.4 when I have only 100mW…

    Ramon L - Seems like a pretty arrogant position…..to ignore a lobby (AMA) with millions of dollars, professional lobbyist, 140,000 + members, 75 years of experience and track record…..AND the ONLY guys sitting down at the table with the FAA and I am not sure who was representing YOUR guys at the ARC…..but the AMA was there……
