Model Aviation - November Issue

No, it's some giant conspiracy by Dave Brown and his lap-dogs in the EC to exert their power and control over the AMA membership at large, and take the fun out of flying!!!

I'm sure that's what some people are thinking, at least. I figured I'd be the first to point it out.

No! It's a typical marketing ploy. I'm surprised it took them this long to make use of it.

If you want to think it a conspiracy, you're probably right. No doubt it's a clever move on the part of AMA to attract the attention of those who can't read right side up!

I actually thought this months magazine is the first one in a long time that was interesting. I have looked it over a couple of times and it is still not in the trash can yet. I usually like to read Dave Brown's opening section of the magazine and I guess I am glad I read it this time too otherwise I would not have known that yet again money was and is being spent on activities that fall outside what I think the AMA should be spending money on. From the gist of the column, I guess he has received negative feedback on AMA becoming involved in the hurricane relief effort and felt compelled to defend the decisions that were made. While I am very sympatric to the people affected by the disaster I do think this falls outside of the AMA's responsibilities. In general I don't think the AMA should be collecting or spending money for anything not directly related to what I think the AMA's functions are .... which is to establish rules for and to promote competition, negotiate the best possible rates for the secondary insurance coverage, promote / protect RC friendly legislation, and to establish the top level safety code guidelines.

Charlie,

Perhaps if those of you who posess this vast storehouse of wisdom and knowledge would get of your derriers and write some captivating articles, then you could make MA more palitable to yourselves and possibly the rest of us unwashed.

Well, my issue came in the mail today, and although the catalog was right- side-up, the rest of the magazine was upside down! Maybe I got the Australian edition again . . . seems to happen about every other month . . . .
