style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>There is a lot that
everyone will need to learn about this issue. The ARC was made up of
about 25 industry (read that as commercial) people from full-scale to
manufacturers of UAS. We (AMA) had ONE seat on this committee. The
AMA pushed for keeping everything just as it is right now, accentually making
model aircraft exempt from any rules.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The problem is that the
commercial guys say, “hey, they can fly (meaning AMA) without restrictions, why
can’t we?” This is the fight that AMA has been dealing with for a year
now. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The original concept of
this group was to come to consensus about issues. Well, that didn’t work,
so basically we were outvoted by the rest of the group. However, any
member of the ARC could write an explanation as to why they were against such
rules, giving reasons so that the FAA could consider this when they review
these proposals. That is what we have done. Many manufacturers want
to limit us in many ways, and one of those is to limit aircraft to 100MPH, 400
ft altitude and no turbines! Obviously, AMA is against anything that
would effect what modelers are doing now. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
