AMAdeclaring backrupt?

"non-trivial" needs defining.

Ii heard that NFFS was going to cover the 'loss' for one year and AMA after.

Received the following from Dave Lindley, President of NFFS:

I have spent a year negotiating with AMA and the Farmer to remove a parcel of crop on the IAC that eats more than its fair share of Free Flight models. At the January AMA Executive Council  meeting this past weekend, the Council approved UNANIMOUSLY surrendering 33 acres of crop on the property (see Graphic) . This is one small parcel of land on the East boundary of the property that has been under crop for years and provides some small amount of revenue to AMA, but every year we end up losing multiple models in this particular parcel. I’m not saying there aren’t other places to lose models, but statistically this parcel is the “Charlie Browns Tree” and we are the kite! AMA has agreed to forego the revenue of this 33 acres. In exchange, NFFS has agreed to pay for the 33 acres to be graded down and field seeded for grass.

The boundary of the parcel adjoins the "L Runway" that CL uses

The area in question is identified in the attached image.

In Wichita we flew at Beech Field, which was bordered by corn fields.  When at combat model went into the corn, the saying was "wait until the harvest and maybe you'll get the engine back".  The farmer was good about returning model remains.
