I was wondering-if a existing flying club that is a AMA club has a outlaw field set-up next door-what can be done-thanks
Well if there is a law or laws that make the other club illegal then the laws should be enforced.
Believe it or not people are free to join the AMA or not. The terms "outlaw fields" or "outlaw fliers" and such are inappropriate.
I, for one, support ALL those involved in the hobby whether they belong to the AMA or not. Actually my convictions is the spirit the AMA was founded on but has been all but forgotten.
It is hard for some to believe but the AMA IS a SIG and the AMA should not only allow for the rights of others but should fight for their rights.
Work with the other club and work out the arrangements to allow safe flight. The new club may need to be made aware that their actions may be construed as reckless or negligent if they refuse to participate in a fair arrangement to allow safe operation at either site. The original club does have a position that may be successfully defended if need be.
