My homeowner's is going to be more than adequate for anything that might happen, so at this point I'm basically paying for a magazine and subsidizing insurance for everyone that is using it.

AMA is useful if you have to have it to fly at a field. Otherwise, I'm not sure I could rationally recommend it.
I agree with many of the points you made but I think since they already have the Muncie facilities and they are established they should keep them. I would like to see the AMA partner with some
clubs around the country and establish some regional sites on par with the Muncie site. Also I think the AMA should make full coverage a option so some people don't have to use their HO ins
if you choose not to.
