At one time there was an organization known as the Sport Fliers Association (SFA) which had aeromodeling aviation safety guidelines however that organization never got off the ground so to speak and there are many threads that already discuss that.

By the definition of a CBO I could make an argument that most not for profit clubs that follow the AMA safety guidelines and publish their own local safety guidelines and provide instruction/education to its local members can also be defined as a CBO.
