I don't disagree. I think MOST modelers know an intelligent idea when they see one. The AMA insurance is a good idea for anyone flying models. As I said, there are no absolutes. I am just as sure that SOME of those folks do it because they want to be a part of the AMA, and not just for the insurance.
Of the dozen or so clubs that are relatively close to me, two that I know of do not require an AMA membership to fly. Keep in mind that the landowner's AMA coverage covers the non-AMA members as well. This is NOT true of the individual or club coverage. For details check out the club recharter package on the AMA site.
