The fact is King County requires all pilots to have AMA membership. Even if you fly on 2.4. Even if you fly a 1 oz electric plane made of foam. Even if you fly a glider. These are the facts. No AMA and you are breaking the rules if you fly at 60 acres. -- Original

The nylon gears work great in a vibration rich environment like heli's. This is where the SA excels. In a heli the metal gears wear quickly due to the vibration. Our sailplanes have no vibration and the metal gears should last a long time. -- Original message
