soo just happened to see this... does this mean that the registration for hobby purposes is going to be going away? just kind of want clarification on this.

Certainly appears that way

It does. Who says you can't fight the Feds? People who are too lazy to try, that's who.

Just goes to show; if a bunch of model airplane enthusiasts with a small lobby in the AMA can pressure a strong Federal agency through appeals and petitions to Congress and get results? It proves the system works. If you work it.

Bravo!

The AMA didn't (couldn't) accomplish this victory. It was ONE guy........

Which begs the question; Where are the MILLION$ in AMA dues going?

Ah so. Thanks. I hadn't ever heard of John A. Taylor until I read your response here Astro and did a Search. Thanks. I pretty much put all this stuff of the back burner after the umpteenth time the AMA requested we contact our Congressmen with regard and just figgered the FAA relented.

So, yeah, good point.

An entire multi-page thread already going on this topic:

Thanks, and I'm sure it's all inclusive, but, to be perfectly honest, the entire affair makes me want to take a nap.

Cheers!

LOL No kidding
