Mike
since the guy wasn't charging for instruction, it sounds like despite the litigious society, common sense prevailed.
did you miss the whole Unpaid Sales Demo discussoin,
and the AMAs answer by Ilona regarding unpaid demo flight on behalf of a business:
http://www.modelaircraft.org/forums/fb.ashx?m=13011
Generally, when we receive inquiries regarding sponsored (non-employed) pilots doing demo flights for manufacturers/distributors, we advise that they should not rely on AMA coverage. We cannot guarantee that the policy would respond and
wow, kinda blows the Unpaid Is Ok theory outta the water



Mike, when you say
It sounds like the AMA agreed that the
where did you see that the AMA gave the answer you are finding they gave?

What I read
was that a local club decided to do something,

Of course, it may be that muncie did and the club simply hasnt given us that detail of their solution
... hmmm, thought I asked them to provide the details of their solution.

Mike, why on earth would the club require outside insurance,
if you are correct that muncie dont see this as a business activity and therefor will insure it?
It would be silly to require a guy carry a second insurance for something AMA insures
