I would like to understand the perspective of those who choose not to join a club when one or more are available.
Speed , I can provide an answer from both perspectives , if you can believe that !
I am a longtime member of an AMA chartered flying club located in eastern Massachusetts , and when I go to the club field to fly part of the reason is of course being in the company of like minded people .
I also fly at a public site where RC flying is permitted , no club affiliation required , and more times than not it's just me , myself , and I at the field , not another person , RC flyer or not , to be seen .
Now there are those times when I want to socialize , and there are also times where I enjoy the peace & quiet of flying by myself , especially so if I'm practicing a particular maneuver or just in a mood to fly alone .
And so this my "skin in the game" with regards to Warningshot's question , As an AMA member at times I fly club , at times I fly non club , and I for sure would like to see BOTH of my flying situations protected
