Let me try to make this point again, AMA dues and any dues for being a member of the SIG are totally separate. One has nothing to do with the other. Not sure how IMPBA will account for life memberships, but I cannot see how AMA would be responsible for transferring that cost.

I'd use A123 batteries. Robust design, not fragile, GREAT under heavy loads and can be recharged at very high rates. I would NOT use lipos, too fragile for this kind of handling. http://www.rclipos.com/A123.htm

Not as cool as you might think, but not hot either. Temps are supposed to be in the upper 70's and sunny.

Unfortunately this will not ultimately be up to the City Council to determine. Every single state in the US and the Federal government have set water quality standards and sadly the letter from Byron will mean very little in that regard. The emissions of the burnt fuel are one thing and the...

I'm curious now. Is IMPBA looking to be recognized as an AMA Special Interest Group (SIG), or is it looking to actually "merge" with AMA?? There are no financial considerations in becoming a SIG, while there certainly are such considerations in a merger. What "initial quote" are you speaking of?

I wrote this in a previous post, but let me try again. My experience as a member of two different AMA Special Interest Groups (SIG) (International Miniature Aerobatics Club [iMAC] and the League of Silent Flight [LSF] ) and as an Associate Vice President in AMA District X is this: 1) All AMA...

Keep in mind that the AMA does not actually run the NATS and neither does any particular single club. The NATS that I have attended in Muncie at the AMA facility were put on by the individual SIGS who put together a NATS "Team" consisting of volunteers from across the country to do the event...

I'm curious about something. It seems that the major motivation here is due to insurance issues for IMPBA. Why can NAMBA get insurance, and to me what seems like a better all around policy, and IMPBA seems to have a huge issue?? Can't IMPBA get the same policy that NAMBA has?? And if not, why...

Typically the way a SIG works like this: 1) All SIG members are REQUIRED to be AMA Members. You pay your annual dues to the AMA directly. Currently Open adult annual dues is $58. Your AMA dues includes the insurance coverage, a Monthly magazine, and supports all the other programs of the AMA...

No idea what the IMPBA proposal says or contains, but there is no way around the AMA dues. To be a member of an AMA Special Interest Group (SOG) REQUIRES AMA membership at whatever level applies to you, i.e. Junior, Open, Senior Citizen, etc. The SIG may then also charge dues on top of that...

Last I heard it was still in the AMA Marketing Committee for study and recommendations to the AMA Executive Council. From the minutes of the July 2008 EC Meeting http://www.modelaircraft.org/membership/or...8ecminutes.aspx The next EC meeting is October 25-26, 2008 It really is just in the...

Then I guess it would be too much to ask you to hustle up some Goode Company BBQ and jalapeno cheese bread for me!!

Bring some Shiner Bock and all will be forgiven!!!

I'll get me entry in here ASAP. Count me in for the Baby Cue as well.

I run a 6717/3 .420 on my Insane Gen II cat which is 41 inches long. Mine was done by Chris at Dasboata [email protected] http://www.dasboata.com

Fair enough. Castle, ThunderPower, Horizon and several others got caught up in the nuance between American based and American made with our wonderful California legal system. That was my only point. Sorry if that point got lost.

And they should be very careful if they intend to sell these motors in California. We have a VERY stringent definition of what "Made in the USA" means and several companies, like Castle, Horizon and others have been sued and lost (actually they settled before court) for not meeting the standard...

Interesting name. Here is what Wikipedia has to say about "Silex" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silex And good old Webster defines it this way: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/silex And I hope these guys don't get wind of the name: http://www.silex.com.au/ And I wonder if the...

This is "FE Speak" for how fast do you want to go.

No, it is not. Luckily it is now a non-issue
