    RC Airplane Memes

    I know of a guy who bought a home in a new community across the street from the fire and rescue station that had been there for decades. After he moved in, he sued the volunteer company to get them to stop running their sirens at night. Judge threw that case so far out of court the guy became...

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    I'm talking about the ones who don't look out the window in the morning so that they can have something to do all afternoon.

    Saying goodbye to AMA?

    One thing I can tell you from first hand experience. Government workers think they are smarter than others, but they are nowhere near as smart as they think they are.

    17DEC2015, AMA Says DO NOT REGISTER.........yet

    Wow they are really screwing the pooch. Once again they are talking about registering our model aircraft, which is NOT what is required. Heck, in their signoff, they misspelled their domain name!

    17DEC2015, AMA Says DO NOT REGISTER.........yet

    I see your point, as long as they can prove that our flying at our field endangers the safety of the national airspace system.

    17DEC2015, AMA Says DO NOT REGISTER.........yet

    Correct, I was talking about the SFRA, but I maintain that even the registration is a violation. Let's say their legal eagles are right, that it's an old rule. Sec. 336 doesn't state that FAA won't enact any new rule, it says it won't "promulgate any rule". That's an important distinction...

    17DEC2015, AMA Says DO NOT REGISTER.........yet

    FYI several clubs in the area had tacit approval from different people in the FAA. This is why the AMA didn't do anything. They thought everything was cool. It was a flyer in one of the clubs who used to work for the FAA who kept calling until he found someone at the FAA who said we have to...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Tired of holding epoxy bottles upside down waiting for it to drain out. Saw a picture of this in Model Airplane News. Had some scrap plywood in the box, so I built this. Not a bad job, if I may say so myself, seeing I had no plans or drawings to work from. Just the photo in the magazine.
