<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wait till the incidents that get people to hire
lawyers get going then places that have been allowing park flyers will be banned
and they will become cowboys flying wherever they can whether legal or
not. Parents turn 7 and 8 year old children lose in park to fly their new toy
and hit infant lying on blanket at local park. The majority of park flyers may
chose to fly responsibly but many will not and those are the ones that can make
it bad for all modelers.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> If the average park flyer doesn't get insurance coverage form the
AMA because they fly at non sanctioned fields then why would they join the
AMA? I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of AMA members do it
because their clubs require it.</DIV>

been lucky. Mike<BR><BR><B><I>Doug Cronkhite <<A

from AMA regarding the paraphrased issue <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

done by the AMA looking at rates of occurences of these model types, per
capita, or the degree of damage of those occurences to property owners. I
saw therefore, no basis for AMA's suggested charge for bringing this faction
of Aeromodeling into the whole of AMA. 30 dollars seems inappropriate
considering the damage potential especially when one considers the new
battery technology. But a larger amount seems difficult to swallow for
models that cost only a couple hundred bucks in
general.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>

the AMA must do something to help protect these pilots (many of whom may be
inexperienced and are potentially quite dangerous to themselves and others).
Considering how the manufacturers have embraced (they, afterall created it)
this extremely fast growing part of the Hobby, they need to help AMA by
bringing the AMA message to those that have no knowledge of the possible
dangers and potential insurance required. Some are doing some minor
things (Horizon is one example) but more must be
done.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>
