1. AMA members already have liability insurance coverage.

2. Under AMA rules, all model aircraft are to be identified
with the owner's name address phone number and AMA
number. In the case of a scale model, this info can be
on a plate or label inside the model.

3. Every R/C transmitter I ever heard of is already limited
to 750mW or 3/4 of a watt.

4. never felt the need for a autopilot myself.

5. Already a FAA rule about this. No flying within 3 miles
without notifying the tower or airport operator. Our
club has been at the same location for 42 years within
3 miles of a county airport. They know we are there and
we know they are there, and govern ourselves accordingly.

6. AMA already has sound level recommendations.

I've been flying R/C model airplanes since 1985 and have
been a instructor pilot (R/C fixed wing) since 1987. In
charge of the training program for new R/C pilots at our club
for the last 10 years.

Just curious, what do you fly?

I have flown but do not do so now (not enough time). I respect the AMA. If everyone followed their rules, well like I said, much of this issue would go away.
