Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / March 2009

I have been in the AMA since the 50's and have always supported the
organization but never became involved in the politics. Oh, there was
a little fracas that occurred in Kerrville, Texas about tem years ago,
but bygones are bygones. I have had two very unpleaseant experiences
in the Past few weeks however that really tick me off and want to
bring to the genetal memberships attention. The first has to do with
frequency interference at our local field. We have lost several planes
recently die to frequency hits at our field and I wrote to the AMA
asking for help. About a month later I received an email saying the
issue was closed. I had heard NOTHING from them. I wrote back, again
describing the probhlem in depth, AGAIN NOTHING. Finally on the third
try I received a no answer answer, its not our problem, contact your
district rep. I did, and again, NOTHING! The last straw was what the
mailman delivered today. A DVD I had not ordered but if I wanted to
keep it, I could pay  about ten bucks a month to receive these crappy
DVDs that I do not want. Now I must mail back this crappy DVD (I
assume it is crappy as I did not even bother to watch as I might
obligate myself in some manner) back to them and pay the postage!
Heaven forbid it gets lost in the monolithic postal system and they
send me more of this crap that I don't want.
