This is the reason that another CBO will not survive. The only way it might make it is if it is for Quad copters only and not at an AMA field.
Honestly, I think there's market space for a CBO that's for larger/faster park flyers, or so. As well as for folks that don't want to fly at AMA fields. If they can do it for say half the AMA's PF cost, I could see it working. Law defining CBO doesn't say anything about magazines, staff size, or insurance. First two are major expenses. Cut those and cost of membership could be trivially low.
