Free Flight

[David Harmon]

Yeah...if we didn't need the insurance policy, AMA would be gone in less
than 15 minutes.

Gray I wonder if ModelAviation/AMA will accept digital pictures? I f
they will then I can have about 100 with a simple write up for each sent
to them every month. I wonder if that will get their attention? Nothing
else seems to, It looks like they are in bed with the ARF and Park Flyer
manufacturers and are more interested in them than the members in the
SIG's who do most of their work for them .

BTW the other Magazines are the same I havent seen a Pattern design
published in six years, Model Airplane News published a catalogue for
plans available and the best they could do was Doc Brook's Crusader and
a Quick Fly among a few others of the same ventage.

The Bucks Talk and all we can do is Squawk.Seems like AMA is starting to
act like the Fedral Government.
