  Ratified is ratified--why tell them you won't pay--just don't. If
AMA wants to threaten not to "record" it, what does that mean? You
won't appear in size 2 font in the back of Model Aviation? You
already have the FAI certificate, correct?

I'll bet 10 feet of Tan II that the story will be something
like, "The FAI has significantly increased record processing fees
assessed to national organizations, and AMA must now pass on these
costs to all individual record applicants. Thank you for banking
with AMA."

Except those modelers for whom money is no object.
