Default Property owner question

Greetings,

I'm a property owner who, just yesterday, was approached by a local RC airplane club. In short, due to a property sale, the club has recently lost their airfield. The club has expressed a desire to utilize my field for their activities. I'm not at all opposed to this idea, however I have a few concerns. This may not be the appropriate forum, and if not, please point me in the right direction.

I'm not interested in making any money from the club. In fact, I would enjoy watching the planes and I'm sure my toddler would love it. For this, however, I'm not prepared to jeopardize my financial well being. I am going to examine my homeowners policy to determine what coverage it may afford me. My initial readings online lead me to believe that there is some protection availble to me if this club is AMA sanctioned, which I believe the club is. Again, this proposition arose on a saturday afternoon and as of yet I have limited details. Does anyone have any personal experience or knowledge in this area. My concerns are not limited to one being struck by an airplane... I'm concerned with all possibilities that may arise from strangers on my property. Slips, falls, dog bites, and the countless other suits that arise in our money-hungry society.

I would really like to help out with this clubs venture, but don't want to pay a price for doing so. Can you help me help them?

Thanks,

Brian
