If they really wanted to, they could just ask AMA to provide data regarding their active members and impose a constraint that AMA #'s can't be changed or reused.

I suspect sanity will return over time as AMA and FAA continue to work together here, hopefully in a spirit of partnership rather than an adversarial relationship.

They can buy it back when they are ready to go home!   I forget, what was the whole reason behind registration?   :-)

I don't recall AMA checking FCC licenses back before the FCC realized that trying to control Citizens Band was as useless as this is.

The registration # does not replace the AMA # but must be contained in or on the model and accessible without tools.  Heck, AMA clubs are going to have to make sure each person flying on a Sunday afternoon is registered.  Within the NSRCA, I hope to address this at our next board meeting to try to get y'all some answers as to how we could/should handle pattern events.  They are AMA events though so hopefully we can get some answers for y'all through the S.I.G.
