I guess that's the assumption that I'd like to challenge. Nothing in the law that defines what a CBO says that a CBO has to provide flying sites. Not everyone needs an AMA field. In fact, even if we assume 100% of the AMA members "need" a club field, there's still some 800,000 other "rogues" that have shown they don't need fields. What about a CBO that serves that group?

That's what I'd like to see stand up. No insurance. No national flying site. No museum. No staff. No HQ building. No magazine. Just rules, etc. Again, bare minimum to meet the definition of a CBO.
