New technology often prompts knee-jerk reactions from governments. Fortunately,
when driving our cars and trucks these days, we’re no longer required to have a
flag man walking in front of us on the freeway, waving a red flag.

He was an engineering student that posted a video of his RC Quad raising up
over some bushes and firing a pistol. Yup, last time I saw the report, just
about all federal enforcement agencies wanted to talk to him.
Interesting he was able to do it, but probably not the best idea to post the
video on YouTube.

Wow. I hadn't heard about that one.

I think he would be prosecuted by the same agencies and the guy in who mounted
a shogun on an ultralight for goose hunting. That was the FAA, BATFE, and the
Arizona Game and Fish service. The state handled his accommodations for three
years, and the feds imposed some pretty substantial fines.

So what us next, a bomb - bay to drop actual bombs?

I once heard an AMA board member refer to the association as "the NAR for
modellers".

They seem to be living up (or down) to that role.

When I registered it was not onerous at all. Other than the $5 it seems like it
will be as easy to renew as any other federal license...

It would be convenient if renewing was automatic with AMA membership. I know
the ARRL has brought this up occasionally for ham licenses, since there is no
fee and they are already license agents...

Dear Members,
As you know, we have been working with our legal counsel and the FAA to find a
solution for our members on the registration rule. To date, FAA has agreed in
principle to several proposed initiatives that will help ease this process for
our members. Specifically, they are:

* AMA and the FAA are working to streamline the registration process for
AMA members whereby those who register with the FAA will be able to use their
AMA number as the primary identification on their model aircraft, as opposed to
adding a new federal registration number.

* In addition, AMA members' federal registration will automatically renew
provided membership remains active and current. We are working with FAA in
negotiating the renewal fee, but in any case it is envisioned the renewal
process will be provided as a member benefit.

* In the future, federal registration will automatically be accomplished
upon joining the AMA, eliminating the need to register with both AMA and the
FAA.
These initiatives are a step in the right direction. However, we want to
emphasize that this is not the end of our efforts to protect AMA members from
this overreaching regulation. We are continuing to explore all legal and
political options available, but these conversations may take time and a
definitive solution is unlikely before the February 19 registration deadline.
Currently, registration is free of charge until January 19. If you would like
to take advantage of this free period, you may want to register before that
day. But please note that you have until February 19 to register in order to
avoid violating the federal rule.
We also want to encourage our members to submit comments to the FAA about the
registration rule. It is critical that all AMA members are heard loud and clear
on this issue. The deadline for submitting comments is Friday, January 15.
Additional instruction is available
here<http://cl.exct.net/?qs=e9e46c898d757cb5dc2457136176f382cb135d1dcd7501995e959739f7ea19d1>.
Thank you for your patience as we work to find the best path forward on
registration. We are committed to doing everything possible to protect our
hobby and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to fly.
Sincerely,
AMA
