Private fields exist so they can Completely control ALL the rules and be exclusionary if they want.

Fat chance of them giving up control to the AMA.
Funny one Boss. . The AMA control something? They are 5 years behind anything that goes on in this hobby.

Nope, it stinks thinking about the yahoos that ruin our good times.


MAJOR BUZZKILL,


Just do something about it, ...take over your local club, and kick the yahoos in the seat of the pants and make it better for you and your buddies.

We did, and now our field/club is very popular, and we have a great time. The yahoos are now on the outside looking in......kill 'em with kindness, get your foot in the door, and take over, the good people will support you.

It takes effort. Lot's of it. But the payoff is a green lawn living room, with all your buddies , cooking ,flying, and kickin' it.

Couple of problems with that Boss. . .

Murder is illegal . .I don't have enough bullets .. . idiots seem to be able to join faster than you can get rid of them ..

Remember. . at my field. . we have a contingent of about 25 guys who knowingly elected a child molestor into the VP's slot. Some things are just not possible to get changed.
