RE: Question??
[quote]ORIGINAL: H5606 [quote]ORIGINAL: Mr-Punk me and 2 other guys were flying and chatting a bit and got into a small debate about the origins of flight.  We didn't know if it was 1903 or 1904 when the Warner brothers made the first powered flight with a human on board..  The engine was a issue too.  I thought it was a early Ford engine before ford became a company.  The other guy figured it was a early Briggs b4 he met Stratton.     [/quote] I'm not quite sure this comment is sincere. Questioning the year and butchering the name - especially when it can be found easily on the internet - shows a general lack of respect for such accomplishments. For a person having an interest in aviation at all, this is common knowledge. I would find it hard to believe that a milestone like this one is not taught in grade school along with other aerospace milestones such as crossing the Atlantic Ocean or landing a man on the Moon.

It has almost 2700 members and out of that, 2350 have made one post or less; and 90% of those posts come from 10 members. The proposal is to close the AMA forum; it is believed this can be done now because the blog system is now up and running. The blog system is a quicker way to get better information to our members; and eliminates the potential for conversations to get dragged off track.  HQ continues to refine the ticket system (Ask AMA) where someone can ask a question and get an answer within 48 hours by a staff person; and creating the knowledge base mentioned earlier that will supplement the Ask AMA system on-line.  <strong style=''font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; ''>It was approved by acclamation to shut down the AMA Forum.[/quote] Brad [/quote] Don't care.

[quote]ORIGINAL: JohnShe [quote]ORIGINAL: TexasAirBoss Are FPV drones/models required to maintain 500' seperation from people/structures ? [/quote] The FAA regulations have not been published yet, so we don't know what the regulations will say.  Therefore there is no FAA answer to your question.  The only answer right now is you can't fly anywhere without FAA approval, except at an AMA club field. If you fly at an AMA club field you will be held accountable to the posted field rules and any applicable AMA policy. If you choose to fly somewhere else, you are on your own.  The jails should be full of people who cause property damage or injury by flying where they aren't supposed to.

RE: My main question?
[quote]ORIGINAL: waditup1 Hello Folks,  I have a question for you. Is it possible that someone can not learn to fly. I am starting to think so. Up to this point I really thought I could do anytrhing I wanted. I have tried all kinds of sports and did them all pretty well after a bit of trying.Flying does not seem to be that way. I have had some of the best help one could ask for. After more than a year I can make my plane do what I want it to do most days.But for some reason I get nervos and I come home with crashed balsa. I really don't know how to control it.  We had a large turn out on Sunday,planes everywhere. I wanted to fly also.I went up and flew real good. Got ready to land and it seems like a lot of other planes  wanted to land too.  I got all nevous thinking that I might hit someone's plane.tried to land too fast and crash. It was my main airplane.I have been sick about it.I know that crashing is a part of it but I can't take many like this. Thank you. I needed to say this. Waditup [/quote] Think foam. Get a foam electric airplane and fly it every chance you get. If you crash just glue it back togather and fly some more. Sooner or later you wil get the hang of it and not crash so often.

[/quote] How far?  FPV has been a thorn in AMA's side for at least the 20 years I have been in it.  And quite rightly so.  It's not that FPV by itself is bad - it's that the people who do it just don't believe in rules.  And they destroy our entire community with their blatant disregard for those rules.

RE: HOBBY king going down the tube?
[quote]ORIGINAL: Tony Iannucelli I thought Hobby King was owned by an Aussie, with branches in Hong Kong, Australia, Germany, and the U.S. The manufacturers are from China. By the way, Tower, Hobby People, Horizon, etc., also buy from China. I don't know of anything made in America in the hobby, in any quantity, do you? PowerMaster fuel comes to mind and some other fuel mixers. Too expensive to ship I would think. The radios: Futaba, Japan and the far east, JR, the same, Airtronics, the same, Hitec, Korea. Even Kraft radios were from Mexico and elsewhere when they closed. The radios from China are coming soon one would think. If the Chinese can assemble most computers, IPads, Phones, etc, they can surely do our radios. It's a world economy guys, no more so than this hobby we all love. And make no mistake, regardless of what you may hear, the $5.99 orange receivers have a darn strong link... [/quote] Even part of all NITRO fuel is made in China.

RE: flying close to small airport Police on the scene
[quote]ORIGINAL: JohnShe Silent, as far as I know, you have been correct about AMA safety guidelines and club field insurance.  However, there is one additional point.  The AMA has a special clause in their by-laws and has required all local clubs to also adopt this clause. A local club member can be booted for repeated and flagrant violations of club safety rules at the clubs flying field.  Additionally, an AMA member can be booted for repeated flagrant violations of AMA safety guidelines at AMA sanctioned events.  This applies to Local club and AMA members only since it can only affect them.
